Pleas for sanity (metaphorical and actual)
Heathcliff, 1/29/26

Grandpa Nutmeg typically gets mad at Heathcliff for failing to deal with his house's endemic mouse problem, but I actually think his anger is out of place here. The mice are already outside! I don't think it's fair to say that mice aren't allowed to be on your property. The fact that they're building a majestic snow sculpture that will come to be a widely admired tourist attraction and, eventually, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is neither here nor there. Let the mice be, Grandpa Nutmeg!
