Hint: When you start a thread with the words "Thread Derailment," that's pretty much a sure sign that you could have started a new thread!
Speaking of squirrels, I got one in the family room attic... just called a guy to come over and take care of business. But I have to time it right... need to get it done, then have my eaves redone so that the hole that he's getting in is gone. If too much time passes between, another one might get in. I guess there's always chicken wire in the meantime... bp
