So, rodents, huh?

I feel like I've seen far more than my share of rodents today. This is, of course, assuming my share is zero. Although even if my share is one, I've seen slightly more than my share.

I was waiting for a bus earlier when a mouse (or something that looked a lot like a mouse) ran into my foot. I was just sitting on a bench and I saw something dark coming toward me, hit my foot, then run off somewhere behind the bench. Needless to say I was freaked out enough to stand and wait the rest of the time which constantly looking around my feet.

Then, I was leaving my apartment to go to the grocery store when something ran across the driveway in front of me. I didn't get a real good look, but it was fairly big. Like, at least a foot and a half long and probably 7 or 8 inches tall. At first I thought it was a cat, but I got a good enough look to completely discount that. I'm thinking maybe it was a possum. Not that I'd know one if I saw one, but since I only half saw it, it sounds as good as anything else. In any case, it was weird.
