No, that's not trash rats, Live! as in Saturday Night Live or Live! In Concert! Rather, the Trash Rats are alive, and I'm happy about it. Once again, it just took me letting down my guard and not looking for the rats.
I went to take my trash earlier, not even expecting them anymore-- but as I rounded the wall to the trash nook, a fat rat scuttled out from under a trash can into the mysterious hole. Grinning, I called a greeting, then casually glanced into the trash can, and there was a baby rat, sitting on the narrow end of a pizza box, mere inches from me. He just sat there staring, and I stared back, half tempted to reach for him regardless of what he might be carrying, but then he dissapeared down into the debris, leaving me to deposit my trash and be on my merry way with a big smile on my face.
Just a reminder that I need to carry my camera with me
at all times.
