Domestic wildlife

Came downstairs yesterday and this is what I saw as I walked into the kitchen:

Yes, that’s a slug. About four inches long.

I have no idea how it got into the house, except that it probably came in on the bottom of my shoes when it was much smaller. And, of course, no idea how long it’s been in my house.

Well, yesterday was its last day. It went into the kitchen sink, where it took a shower of kosher salt. Then out into the trash barrel.

I'm considering whether I need to take a blowtorch to the entire interior of the house.
