Terrific! This one got an audible laugh for the low hanging tree branch answer. That was fun to find.
I was so fixated on "rat" being the rodent. I thought, "rat tie rule? That makes no sense". How did I not make the connection to the other clue when I was that close! D'oh!
Oh well, Three out of five ain't too bad for these.
I really need to put these off until I have time to spend. But again, it is worth the effort! Very fun.
