The Mice Get Credit
Ever since Douglas Adams penned his "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series, humans have been forewarned that mice are "are merely the protrusion into our dimension of vast hyperintelligent pandimensional beings.

The video focuses on live-streaming "Mice in the Attic" to Facebook, a free platform, but we can also stream to other platforms, as needed.
