This is the opposite of a New York City tourism video. A rat recently infiltrated the 4 train in New York City. While making its film debut, it decided to crawl up a sleeping homeless man’s leg, creep across his face, and settle on the man’s face.
Come to New York, everyone:
It’s slightly ironic that the announcement in the background is talking about “rating out” reporting any suspicious packages or activity on the train.

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 12:00pmNah, must be my fault, after all I am one of those Domestic Potential Terrorists warned of by our great defender Napoletano the little Napoleon. Being a libertarian, christian, chaplain, pro life, pro gun, pro constitution, pro limited government, and fully anti-progressive, therefore I am a threat and the rat had to be my fault.
Or it could have just been the rat getting comfortable.

Posted on January 13, 2011 at 12:03pmI was in NY last year and was walking down the street at dusk, and a rat ran across the sidewalk and right across my feet… it was literally the size of a chihuahua. I at first thought it was a dog till I saw the tail! HUGE. uhg I dislike those things! I think I jumped high enough to call Guinness book!

Very good tea today, had wintermint mixed with hazelnut and a pinch of cinnamon; no need for a bit of sugar today. Also avoided accidently adding the salt and pepper.
Will be warmer today than the last couple of weeks.

Near the docks and swampland areas of Florida I have seen some large rats as well; not quite that big yet close, and found two things out real quick _ I hate rats, and love to hunt the buggers to their ending.

Your warming will hopefully head in our direction as it was 19 degrees w/ windchill this morning. Will be a little warmer tomorrow. Obviously no global warming in central FL. Have a great afternoon.
