mouse's day out

somewhere in canada a little mouse friend found his way up through the engine of our car and into our glovebox, where he made a nest out of napkins. when we found the nest we popped the engine hood to see if we could find where he came through, and he ran across by my feet to underneath my chair. that little guy knows his way around our car better than we do. for the next couple days we would think he was gone when he would peek out from some nook he was hiding in.
he was so fast! somewhere between montana and salt lake at a gas station we thought we lost him for good...wrong. when we got into salt lake and we were at a stop light we saw this:

it was so funny to see the light from the cars shining through his little ears while he just hung out on the hood of the car soaking up the city. country mouse's day out!
but also pretty embarrassing that i actually posted the video of me screaming. he kept running from the outside of the windshield to inside the car and across my feet. it was dark and he had just disappeared from the windshield when i felt something up my ankle. i screamed like a little school girl, and found out that it was just a moth fluttering around my ankle. our voices in this recording are hilarious. i had a terrible cold so i sounds really annoying an nasal-y. david has his stressed out voice on, so he sounds like an old man.

david pushed him off of the windshield, and he ran back up into the engine faster than you can say mouse. so who knows if he is still in there....maybe we will see him on our windshield again sometime soon.
