I live in the basement of a large warehouse, accompanied by several
families of assorted rodents. I have my terminal to work on here,
and see no daylight. EVER. The real nuisance is when it rains, and
the rats go for higher ground, like my bed, or kitchen counters.
Save for then, my life is blissful and requires no further
augmentation, except when I have to buy new 8mm cassettes for my
weekly home version of "the Mr. Bill Show" and produce them by
myself. I usually have them delivered, though, so it's not a
problem. Then I make up another clay Mr. Bill and "here comes Mr.
Bill's dog!". Sluggo is my favorite part. The rats enjoy it too,
since once Mr. Bill buys the farm, they have something to eat
for a few minutes, or at least seconds [they get pretty hungry].
I have films of the rats after sequels of Mr. Bill. Would you
like to see them? Can you say "Mr. Bill"? Sure. I know you can.
"eggamuffin"? 
For Anyone interested, my next sequel of Mr. Bill's dog will be
filmed tonight at my place. Admission five greenbacks
SAME BAT TIME, SAME BAT CHANNEL. 

To hermit is to die, netties. Get out there and play that great
game called LIFE ...
