Newsflash: Turning Point in the Battle on the Northern Front!
VICTORY -ENEMY HALTED AS ALLIED ADVANCE CONTINUES!
VICTORY -ENEMY HALTED AS ALLIED ADVANCE CONTINUES!
Visalia, California - This 10th day of continuous and bloody fighting on the northern front has resulted in a strong foothold for the forces of homeland defense. Although the previous week was filled with many (plant) casualties and frustrations in battle, a turning point is now believed to have been reached. Supreme Commander of the homeland forces was surprised that the enemy, "fell for the old carrot trick." He continued to say, "There may be more out there so we need to keep at it for a few more days".
Today was the first day in which the enemy had been stopped dead in his tracks. Although there was celebration for the victory in battle, there is still concern for the vulnerability of the southern area of the homeland. "There's only one trap that seems to be working - you just can't cover everything at once." An eerie silence fell over the battlefield as the reality of continued fighting sunk in.
There is a certain unpredictability in war fought underground and so victory is hard to claim until large areas are contained. Allied forces will continue to patrol and set traps for the marauding intruders until every last one is either killed or captured (probably killed).
"This is a great victory for our homeland," said the Commander, "It looks like he'll be pushing up daisies now rather than pulling them down!"

Thanks for taking the time to give us an update from the front lines. I'll continue to support the war effort from home by rationing carrots. Go get 'em soldier!
I would just like to say that if I caught that, I would scream and cry and jump around like a girl. No vermin, please (read the mouse story on my blog). But good for you, Commander Steve.
