this in the past and dug it, too. I like sauces with lotsa heat, but with flavor, too. Gimme some suggestions.

The mice vs the Swan So I have a mouse problem at Swan's End. To date I've trapped seventeen mice plus catching one alive (I set it free in the backyard). Yes, I am doing my best to secure my food and plug up holes and so forth, but this is a 95-year-old semi-detached house, so it'll probably never be mouseproof. I am hoping not to be forced to get a cat since I don't much like cats. I do love dogs. My question is, does anyone know if dogs are ever any good at mousing, or at least at scaring mice away?

Song hunt So, tonight, uniedntified, on the radio, there was an apparently new song, in a very alt.country vein but heavily influenced by a jangly R.E.M. sound, with a long fiddle solo in the break, and a refrain centering on the word "Telepathy." Any ID help?

Orson Welles argues the case of Isaac Woodard, the WWII veteran who on February 13, 1946, three hours after having been honorably discharged from the U.S. Army,
was assaulted, savagely beaten and blinded for life by a Georgia cop. His only crime, not having addressed the harassing officer as "sir". Welles was the first to bring the case to the attention of the American public, severely damaging his radio show's ratings and its ad revenues in the process; after Welles,
Woody Guthrie and eventually -- if unsuccessfully, because Woodard's attacker was tried and quickly acquitted by a Georgia jury of, literally, his peers -- President Truman would try to help Woodard's case. Via
Wellesnet.

Today, the annoyingly unsweaty, unharried office lady came down and told me that I had to try and rustle up 50 feet of dollar hardcover books from
my carts, all with red binding (don't ask). After scoring various nooks and crannies for half the afternoon, I managed to find 8 feet. I'm working on the rest. Needless to say, this quest left me tired, dusty, frustrated and discombobulated. However, as I stepped off the subway, a song came on my iPod-
"Do Ya"(streaming mp3) By
the Move, a song who's power chords and exultant chorus never fail to lift my spirits. It's my musical emergy adrenaline shot and lithium all in one. What's yours?
