Beth had her bout of Lithe Method addiction. But I didn't think it could happen to me. As a loyal PSC customer for over 6 years, I checked my attendance record in September. 10. times. total. (in 6 months.) My warmer months were spent running and biking, but I needed something new for the winter.

The Decision. Buzzzzzzzz. Christmas Eve 2012, 7:30 AM. My dreams of sugarplums and eggnog were rudely interrupted when I awoke to a mouse slaughter from my electronic "rat zapper". Believe me, I love animals and believe in their rights. However, there is one exception to the rule: pests in my apartment. I can't compromise sanitation for coexistence.
