Generally, according to ornithological statistics, an owl eats four mice per day.

Just sayin',@Speicher

If you remove the feet, then 3.142 mice make an excellent pie.

Morning. Oh goody ! I can look forward to some more rain today .

Dry here.

A cat? frequently. When I was getting my theatre training in the wilds of Montana, one job the students was to catch and eject the Theatre Cat when it tried to get onstage during shows.

It has to be said that particular moggy kept the place free of mice and rats.

I didn't know Montana had theater. Let alone theater training.
Outside of this-

What about Dearborn Station?

You would have to ride the Santa Fe, Monon line, Chicago and Eastern Illinois, Erie, or Grand Trunk Western. 4 or 5 other stations in Chicago. I think the old Dearborn Station(1886) headhouse is still an office building. Of all the great Chicago stations, only LaSalle Street, Union, and North-Western are still in use, and North-Western is a replacement structure, and LaSalle Street is heavily, but tastefully, remodeled.

"Across the street from the station, down the block, there's a five-and-10, and right next to that there's a dry cleaning and dyeing place, and right next to that there's this place that sells ribs ..."

There was a dedicated taxi company, Parmalee, which ran between the stations, for transfers. Union is now the only station which sees intercity arrivals and departures. Quite its' old self. Pram scene in The Untouchables was filmed there. Much like Eisensteins' treatment of the same subject in Battleship Potemkin.

Twin Anchors wouldn't be too far. There's also a Lou Malnotti's Pizzeria near it. But it's mostly close to where the printing district was.

4 miles distance between Dearborn Station and Twin Anchors. But good ribs. Worth the "L" ride and walk.

It's here. Things are getting distinctly squelchy.

I have a bread doing its final prove and I've made some hummus.

Asparagus soup followed by cheese and onion pasties for lunch.

Asparagus, the theatre cat

Ours does not like tummy rubs, she likes her neck being scratched but no touching of the tummy

You mean you're in danger of having your face removed...

Both mine love having tummy munches. But touch Poppy's tail and you're in for it...

Probably no five and dime or dry cleaners anymore, either.

Restrictions on Wal Mart as well .
Heavy restrictions.

And mice drumsticks won't have much meat on them.

But I would assume they would make a fine roux.
