The RIGHT side of your back seat? On my van that pesky dark hole is on the left! Or do you guys do your directions as if you were driving backwards?

Hmm, maybe that's why guys can't ask for directions, because they have left and right so mixed up?

FWIW, when I dropped a pair of really nice earrings down there, I figured I needed a solution to the trap. $2.95 in the local hardware store in Port Townsend, WA, one of those lovely long skinny tools with little grippy wires at one end, and a spring-loaded little trigger thing at the other end for letting the wires out and pulling them in, so you can neatly retrieve the important stuff you drop.

Terrible description, but you maybe know what I mean?

I don't bother retrieving raisins, crackers, paper clips, crummy pens, etc. So far no mice, knock on wood.
