Today, an advance scout for a chipmunk invasion force was spotted in our sales office. I flushed it out from behind a filing cabinet, but Amy (who was holding our paper shopping bag trap) freaked out when it ran into the bag and she let it get away. I pursued it out into the hallway and halfway up the stairs to the other offices. Beautiful, it’s SEP now (Somebody Else’s Problem).
Well, not quite. It came back downstairs and was running around the tech support office, freaking out all the women. We called the Fish and Game department, and they loan out live traps for a $20 deposit. Twenty minutes later I’ve baited and set it and we’re waiting to drop the hammer.
One of our support technicians asked what I was going to do with it when I caught it, and I replied I have a cat at home…
That got me in to trouble. No, I won’t feed him to my cat (as much fun as he would have with it). I’ll set it free outside so it can run up one of the few remaining trees around the new Federal Courthouse.
I fixed a couple of issues yesterday with my theme and its XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance. It should validate fine now.
