22. I essentially did that with a mouse I caught

In one of those humane traps. I drove 3 miles into the country, opened the trap on both sides, and waited for the mouse to leave. And waited... and waited... and waited... Finally he runs out, not into the field that I parked beside but into the road just as another car drove by. I didn't see if he made it or not.
