It's not uncommon around here to see rats scurrying across telephone wires and through the trees, just like squirrels. (Two traipsed overhead the other night as we embarked on our trick-or-treating expedition. Is that some kind of omen?) Each time I see it, I immediately and compulsively launch into a paraphrase of the Leonard Cohen song: "Like a rat on a wire... like a drunk in a midnight choir...
Do they do that where you are?
dgoodness, no! not in wisconsin.

ReplyDeleteI was recently strolling down a handsome tree-lined street in my yuppie neighborhood and saw something move out of the corner of my eye. "Oh, is it a kitty?" I thought, "or a little bunny?" so I peered closer, only to discover a huge rat.
Also, I woke up with a mouse in my hair some months ago. Do the mice do that in NO?
My mom once had a bat land on her face in the middle of the night. That was in Virginia, which isn't so far from Baltimore. Maybe nocturnal rodent-ish disruptions are a mid-Atlantic thing.
