"I'm going to need rat poison if I want to drag race in Thailand."

I had a two hour window at the drag strip before it rained: fuel, oil, trans fluid - check. Turn on the power and put some heat in it - what's this? . . . fans coming on and off, lights flickering . . . . what the . . .? Oh Droppings! Rats, the mice ate the wiring! AGAIN! I'm going to need rat poison if I am going to drag race in Thailand! There was an actual nest inside the dash. I did not reach in to clean it out: this is Thailand -- there are vipers and cobras here that follow mice to their nests and then take a nap after their snack. Time to call the electrician. Oh well . . .
. . . at least there was another insanely beautifully colorful sunset tonight.

After consulting experts in a variety of academic disciplines, I arrived at a consensus: Dryer Sheets and Peppermint Oil will keep mice out of your race car. Who knew?
