Ew

Continuing, the 'its summer' thread; rats. I don't know if it is too cold or too hot for the rats at Paul's work but HOLY CRAP I'm glad I didn't have to see what he saw. In the break room there was a strange and worsening smell which Paul suggested to his coworkers was 'something dead'. So he looked around and decided that the only place it could be was under the snack machine. And he was right. There were TWO dead rats under there, which thank God he was not responsible for cleaning up. So, Paul describes to me how big each rat is and holds his hands, I swear again, like 14 inches apart. 'With the tail' I say. And he says 'no' with the tail they were like 2'+. TWO FOOT RATS!

However, things could be worse because we have all these cute chipmunks and squirrels in our yard and if we lived further south we could have crabs in our yard. YARD CRABS for God's sake!

I'm very capital-y today, but seriously. Whole new world.

As Carrie Bradshaw says, "Squirrels are just rats in cuter outfits." I never really believed it until last summer when I had to "relocate" 14 squirrels who were completely decimating my beautiful garden.
