Fortunately it's not a squirrel family. Here's a story about a squirrel mother moved her babies to a car's engine in UW's parking lot last month.

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Luba Werchola, of the staff of Techworx in South Campus Hall, had an experience on the way home from work Friday afternoon that she's happy to share:

The engine lights started lighting up on the dashboard. When I got home I heard noises coming from the engine. Horrible thoughts of mangled animals went through my head when I opened the hood, but I couldn't see anything. As the engine cooled down, a small furry head poked up from the far left of my engine, right over the wheel well.
From the scrabbling noises, we thought there would be more than one in there. They didn't seem to be able to get out on their own, but after two hours and some dismantling, we finally pulled out four baby squirrels. The mother had chewed through sensor wires in the engine, hence the warning lights, but was not in the car with the babies.
The babies were taken to a wildlife rehabilitator (Vickie) who specializes in squirrels. She estimates that these guys are about seven weeks old and definitely not able to survive on their own -- they still needed their mother's milk. They were extremely undersized and very stressed.
Interestingly, Vickie had gotten a phone call from the university earlier about a nest of squirrels in a shed that needed to be moved. She suggested that they open the doors and the mother would relocate them. Well, she did relocate them -- right into my car! Vickie said it would have taken the mother all day to move the babies into my car.
They are doing well now and will be hand raised for the next few weeks before being released again. Happy ending -- for them, anyway, but my car is still being repaired.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

        2001年4月中, 我发过一个贴子叫“跟房东打官司”。
        谢谢大家当时的跟贴。

        现在,经过调解,我们赢了官司。

        调解协议如下:
        1,房东无条件撤销要赶我们出门的案子
        (他原来控告我们故意在冬天开窗,24小时开灯,。。。引起水电
        费上涨) 自己承担45元的申请费。

        2,承诺修理我们提出的设备和设施
        (马桶漏水,各层装感应灯,修理煤气,保证房间温度。。。)

        3,退还给我多收的房租,从2001年1月起,每个月退130元。

        通过打官司,我觉得我们大陆的人士,包括专业人士,应该知法,
        懂法,守法才能在这个法制社会下生活得更好。

        从现在起,我翻译一些我从法律顾问处得到的信息,大家一起看看

        租房,房东与房客之间一般要签约,房东在一开始就
        可以问房客要第一个月的租金和最后一个月的押金。
        同时,房东也可以要房客支付房门钥匙的押金。
        如果除此之外房东要求任何其他的费用,即为非法要求,
        应该一口回绝。

        当你付任何钱给房东时,你应该要收据,如果你提出而且坚持
        要收据而房东不给,房东即为非法。

        当然,很多房东不愿意签约和写收据,只要你同意,这种行为
        是合法的。你租房是可以没有合同和房租收据的。没有这些不等于
        非法租房。但是没有这些将来可能对你不利。另外,如果你有租房
        收据,报税时可以向政府申请减低这部份支出的税(关于这一点,参考
        报税表格或咨询财务顾问)。

        所谓押金,当你离开时,是可以拿回来的。
        最后一个月的押金有一点特殊,就是当你要离开这个房子,不继续
        租时,你住这个房子的最后一个月不用付钱。(可能跟新加坡等不同)

        另外,你应该检查所有的房门(特别是直接暴露给外人的房门)都应该有锁,
        房东应该给你相应的钥匙。否则是非法出租,政府会勒令房东立刻停止租约。
        (当然,你可以要求赔偿)

        应该没有其他问题了,祝你入住愉快。

        房租该不该涨?

        1,如果你是去找房,根据最新的规则,房东可以根据市场情况开出他认为满意的价格,不管以前这个房子的房价是多么低,他有权这么作。你在讨价还价后的价钱
        就是你今后的租金。

        2,如果你已经居住在这个房子里,房东每年(每12月后,看你入住的时间)可以
        依法涨你的房租,1999年,他可以涨3%,2000年,他可以涨2。6%。
        这里澄清一点,就算是这个房子换了主人,只要你还愿意继续住,新房东也必须按照上面的2。6%走。

        3,如果房东认为房子的水电费超过多市的平均水平,他可以要求涨房租。
        我个人建议,如果你不善于讨价还价的话,不要同意。房东失败后,会控上
        法庭。法庭会给一个最后的裁决,或者不涨,或者涨一个比例。就算法庭判决是涨,你并没有输什么。

        清楚了没?欢迎提问。
    • 老鼠的牙会这么强????那可是条德国造的电线哪!!!!
      • 哪国的电线它不咬呀! 打倒一切老鼠, 另外明天我要去landlord那里complain!!
      • VW beetle is made in Mexico...hehe..
      • 这可是加拿大产的老鼠呀 :D

      • 可是找房子的时候怎么才能知道有没有老鼠呢?
        • easy, 把你那条引擎线放到那所房子里一宿不就有答案了吗*_^
        • 旧房子有老鼠的比较多。
          • Very true. Avoid renting rooms of old houses, especially those located downtown. Make sure the next door is not a supermarket or a grocery store:)
            • 为什么你的字是黄色的highlight的? downtown老房子,屎加堡的一些老房和老apartment(印度人多,不干净的apartment)都容易有老鼠
              • 屎加堡!!!
                • 还有呢。finch叫粪池,muffin叫马粪。scarborough还有一更难听的翻译,有挨观瞻不说了。
                  • hehe,i know this one!
                    • 你怎么知道的:-)就我们这及少数一小撮人之间发明的,大闲人怎么给嚷嚷地哪都是了?
                      • 一北京来的剃头师傅告诉我的。也是s,g,b打头的三个字。
                  • 说呀!别吊着了,特想知道!要不晚上睡不着觉了。
    • 买线自己修吧
      • 这有些夸张吧:P
        • 是EGG来给你修啊。他不是有一套工具么,难道你忘了?我们可没忘。就给他个表现机会吧。
    • 车好,连老鼠都妒忌了,没办法. 它怎么不咬我的呢?咬了就能拿OFFER了
      • 看来大家的好日子度快到了呢, 这么好的天气:) 你下周的面试一定会成功的哦!
    • 太好了!  这下LD再也不会对它情有独钟了……它还带了什么不快给你?你就全招了吧!
    • 土拨鼠回来了?
