Robert Burns Was Right

    

The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men–um–jumped out the window, because their refrigerator at their lake house conked out on a holiday weekend. But because I am mouse who is usually okay with Plan B, the weekend was not a wash-out. (Which is good, because the clothes dryer is currently held together with a bungee cord.)

So here are two strong men trussing the dead fridge to haul it away.

And here’s the reason it probably died: three jars of cocktail sauce, five half-jars of tartar sauce, four pounds of sliced American cheese, goodness knows how many mustards and ketchups, and well, you  can see for yourself. The poor thing just gave up.
