The steps down the side of the house, into our back yard ... I was standing watch there, because I'd seen the Western Exterminator van next door (rats?? We had a large dead rat in the crawl space under the house the other day; the neighbors the other side caught a rat in a trap this week) and I worry that WE puts down poison, rather than setting traps - I was ready to have a confrontation about this, given that owls and hawks and bobcats and coyotes and even the beloved local mountain lion are so at risk from poisoned critters. But no exterminators (or neighbors) came into my line of view - nor Alice's - she was similarly on sentry duty in the front yard, at the top of the steps. Still, I do worry.
