I guess he’s just practicing so he’ll be perfect when he goes to Beijing to grovel before the ChiComs.

A few days ago, our printer stopped working. Somehow a brand new ink cartridge was gone in less than a week.
A few days later, the scanner started acting crazy.
We open up the printer cover and there are two little gray mice inside there. One was blue and yellow and red from eating away at a second printer cartridge. The other was tangled up in the wiring of the Printer and was chewing away either for a bit of lunch or to untangle himself. The colored mouse took off and excaped but the little guy eating the wires was still tangled in the wires. So we took the printer outside and shook the little dude loose and he scurried away as well.
Who knew that mice thought printer ink delicious.
Another printer destroyed by Afghanistan.

However innumerable sentient beings, I vow to save them.
However inexhaustible the passions, I vow to extinguish them.
However immeasurable the dharmas, I vow to master them.
However incomparable the Buddha’s truth, I vow to attain it.
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him.
If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought,
happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. “
