Life in Haiti is a battle. But not just for us. It seems like every creature, from human beings to the ants are constantly and forcefully battling for survival. Last week we noticed a mouse running in kitchen. While not unexpected, mice are definitely unwelcome since they get into your food and generally make a mess. After two days of efforts, we got rid of all the mice, except one. We heard rustling on the counter top and tracked it to the toaster. Sharon picked up the toaster, reached her hand inside and touched what you see above--a mouse's tail! After having a good scream and plenty of lamenting, she put the toaster in a cooler, closed it, and the next day we took it apart. We found about nine large cockroaches and one mouse in our toaster which we were using every morning! How such animals survive in a toaster is beyond us, but why they are in the toaster is obvious--bread crumbs. Life is a battle here and animals are willing to live in the most extreme environments for food--even a toaster!
