Saturday Afternoon Open

Sat, Oct 27, 2007 at 12:41:31 pm PDT

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.

Thomas H. Huxley

Yes there is a virus that lurks in mouse poop. Where a face mask as you clean it up. And gloves. And don't let the kiddo help. Use bleach - 10% solution, so 1/4 cup bleach, 2 1/4 cups water.

Franz Jägerstätter: Martyr and Model


Tomorrow, on October 26, the Catholic hero Franz Jägerstätter will be beatified in Linz, Austria.

Executed in 1943 for refusing to serve in Hitler’s army, Jägerstätter was once known only to his relatives and neighbors—many of whom considered him mad


.................................................. ............................................

After Hitler’s forces annexed Austria, completing the Anschluss, Jägerstätter was the lone voice in his village to oppose it and was appalled by the willingness of his many countrymen, including high-level prelates, to aquiesce. “I believe there could scarcely be a sadder hour for the true Christian faith in our country,” he wrote, “than this hour when one watches in silence while this error spreads its ever-widening influence.” Commenting on the Austrian plebiscite, which gave approval to the Anschluss, he lamented: “I believe that what took place in the spring of 1938 was not much different from what happened that Holy Thursday 1,900 years ago when the crowd was given a free choice between the innocent Savior and the criminal Barabbas.”

Jägerstätter himself became an outspoken opponent of the Nazi regime and refused all cooperation. When a storm destroyed his crops, he declined any assistance from Germany. He stopped attending social events to avoid heated arguments with Nazi apologists.

As the takeover of Austria proceeded, Jägerstätter knew he would be asked to collaborate at some point. In early 1943, it came: He was ordered to appear at the induction center at Enns, where he declared his intention not to serve. The next day, he was hauled off to a military prison at Linz, to await his fate. “All he knew when he arrived,” writes Zahn, “was that he was subject to summary execution at any moment.”

A parade of people—relatives, friends, spiritual advisers, even his own bishop—pleaded with Jägerstätter to change his mind. Some did not disagree with his anti-Nazi convictions or his moral stance; they simply argued he could not be held guilty in the eyes of God if he offered minimal cooperation under such duress, given the extreme alternative.

Jägerstätter, however, saw things differently. He believed Christians were called precisely to meet the highest possible standards—“be thou perfect,” said Our Lord—even at the cost of one’s life, if fundamental Christian principles were at stake. Serving Germany in a nonmilitary post would simply make it easier for someone else to commit war crimes. He could not participate in the Nazi death machine, even indirectly. He would not be swayed: “Since the death of Christ, almost every century has seen the persecution of Christians; there have always been heroes and martyrs who gave their lives—often in horrible ways—for Christ and their faith. If we hope to reach our goal someday, then we, too, must become heroes of the faith.” Indeed, he added, “the important thing is to fear God more than man.”

After several months of imprisonment in Linz, Jägerstätter was taken to Berlin, where he stood military trial. According to witnesses, Jägerstätter was quite eloquent in his defense, but he was sentenced to death for sedition. On August 9, 1943, Jägerstätter was informed he would be beheaded that day. His last words as he was taken to the gallows were ones of peace, testifying to his faith: “I am completely bound in inner union with the Lord.” The prison chaplain who ministered to him that day later remarked, “I can say with certainty that this simple man is the only saint I have met in my lifetime.”

You can prevent mousies from where you don't want them by putting a couple of drops of peppermint oil in a bottle cap topped with water and place the cap where you've seen the little monsters. Replenish as the water evaporates. It really works and you won't see a mouse for miles.

If you send your money to pay tuition to some college or university you probably know that the college kids are really into Chuck Norris.
Here is a sampling, some I got from Dennis Miller,
Chuck Norris is so tough that he does not do push ups. He pushes the Earth down.

If you can see Chuck Norris he sees you. If you cannot see him you will be dead in seconds.

There is no evolution, only creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

Chuck Norris is one eighth Cherokee. Not his lineage, he ate an Indian.

Chuck Norris cleared the Mojave Forest to have an unobstructed view.

Chuck Norris does not go hunting. Hunting means that you could fail. He goes killing.
And my personal favorite,
Chuck Norris once ate three one pound steaks in two hours. It took him 15 minutes to eat the steaks. He had sex with the waitress for one hour & forty five minutes.

I've a central vac. Can I use that to clear out the dry stuff and then wash? (I spelled out what would happen to The Kid if he didn't leave the closet alone.) Thank you for the cleanser recipe.

You might do better with the kind of vac that has a HEPA filter - especially one with a disposable bag (do they make such things?) My worry about using the central vac would be spreading the mess throughout the house. Viruses are bitty things and mouse poop can carry some pretty nasty bacteria as well.

If money is not a huge issue, you might contact somebody about having a biohazard clean up done, though I have no clue what that might cost.

BTW, any of the clothes that are covered with mouse droppings you might do well to simply discard rather than try to salvage.

You're welcome :)

Hanta virus was first discovered out on the Navajo reservation. Not so many trees. It does appear to be mostly confined to dryer climates, but like I said above, mouse droppings can carry other nasty stuff too.

Please the caps in a perimeter around your garage after your major cleanup. No more worries, to be sure.

Just be on the lookout that they don't try to migrate to your home. use the same trick there to keep the meeces out.

Sounds mean - but much better than those "no kill" traps that glue their poor little feet to the trap.

BTW Mandy, they had to get in somewhere. Once you have everything out of that closet look for little holes. You can plug them with steel wool - the really fine kind with no soap that you buy at the hardware store for refinishing furniture.

OT BREAKING:

Separatists claim responsibility for California Wildfires

ORANGE COUNTY, California (CNN) -- Radical Hispanic separatist organization MEChA ("Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan") is taking responsibility for setting the wildfires in California, confimed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California officials received a letter earlier today containing photographs of individuals holding Molotov cocktails, then throwing them into dry brush. The faces of the individuals appeared to have been digitally distorted.

Also included was a rambling manifesto, stating that the reason for the act of arson was that "Aztlán belongs to indigenous people, the Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán. We are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture."

Orange County Fire Battalion Chief Kris Concepcion told CNN that the pattern of wildfires definitely indicates arson.

"The reason we think it is [arson] is because we found multiple points of origin," Concepcion said. "... Our investigators have confirmed that this is, in fact, arson."

Ixnay on the central vac system to clean up mouse droppings unless it vents outside the home instead of the kind that vents in the garage. Professional cleaning is $$$$ ! Proper precautions and time allowance will see you through.

OT BREAKING:

Separatists claim responsibility for California Wildfires

ORANGE COUNTY, California (CNN) -- Radical Hispanic separatist organization MEChA ("Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan") is taking responsibility for setting the wildfires in California, confimed Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

California officials received a letter earlier today containing photographs of individuals holding Molotov cocktails, then throwing them into dry brush. The faces of the individuals appeared to have been digitally distorted.

Also included was a rambling manifesto, stating that the reason for the act of arson was that "Aztl�n belongs to indigenous people, the Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztl�n. We are sovereign and not subject to a foreign culture."

Orange County Fire Battalion Chief Kris Concepcion told CNN that the pattern of wildfires definitely indicates arson.

"The reason we think it is [arson] is because we found multiple points of origin," Concepcion said. "... Our investigators have confirmed that this is, in fact, arson."

I guess they did not see that bit last week where someone has invented technology to undo the digital obstruction of faces. They caught a pedophile that way.

And has anyone but me noticed the similarity of pronunciation between MECha and Mecca?

I checked for holes earlier this summer but I found none. I'll look again once I get it cleaned out.

They got in there somehow Mandy. A little gap around a water pipe. A little crack under the door. You might also buy a four-legged mouse trap :)

You may find a petite sized mask by calling emergency service suppliers in your area and purchasing directly from them. Get the kind with replaceable HEPA filtration.

Your vac sys sounds fine to use but remember to sterilize it afterwards. Dry cleaning will remove most staining if you inform them of the source of the stain. It will also destroy most biologic threats.

But it is not fair to the dry cleaning staff to subject them to the biohazard unless this is an establishment that specifically deals with that kind of cleaning. Probably cheaper to buy new stuff.

You can get a mask that will both fit and do the job by getting the kind that are used for child cancer patients. They are usually blue on the outside. Medical supply house. The kind with the replaceable HEPA need to be individually molded to be effective. Spendy. Not what you need for a one-shot deal.
