When I worked in the Trumbull mall years ago, the Taco Bell in the food court was shut down at least once a year for health code violations. Just another reason why I refuse to eat at Taco Bell.

A simple way to rid yourself of pests. That idea could only come from Central America. Geoff, 30 years ago my father had a rat in his house. Workmen came and sealed the basement with drywall to prevent the little darlings from getting in. But how could such construction make things worse? Beats me ... Fred, That’s quite a story.

Hard to say what "preventative construction" for rats might have been, but, based on the number of the critters running around the floor, it must have been pretty successful.

Funny side story, my apartment in Philadelphia had a mouse problem. One day when I was going home for the holidays, I invited a friend of mine to stay at the apartment for the weekend because he had no place to go (his home was in Guatemala). He cleaned my apartment from top to bottom, and got rid of the mice. When I asked him how he got all the mice, he said (in semi-broken english) "I put some food out by the hole and waited. when they came out, I picked them up and threw them out the window." I lived in a corner apartment on Broad and Chestnut, 2 very busy city streets, way up on the 14th floor. eeww.. i swear i think i may have eaten at that particular one down in the village.
