Well, the tree is now gone. Dad came up and sawed it up today while I was at work. And it seems that I paid him the princely sum of two apples to do it. He took two of my apples home with him. Oh well.

Even though I cleaned the dvd player, the sound is still cutting out on my dvds. Oddly, I think it's just the Pretender dvds. I have to have the volume turned up to the max anyway for them but I keep losing all the sound. I tried the dvd in another player so I know it's a problem with either the player I use when I'm on the treadmill, or the tv it's connected to. I'll have to investigate further later.

I still haven't caught the mouse. I think he smells the d-con.
