AM:  75F, 92%.  10 @ 8:08 AP.  Tired, hot, creek levels still high so a back-and-forth route...  Just punching the clock today.  Almost stepped on a baby possum though.  Most critters move out of my way but this little guy just stared innocently at me as I made a last-minute move to avoid him...where was mama possum on that one?  Probably digging in someone's garbage can.

PM:  85F, 69% (HI 92F).  4 @ 8:22 AP.

Just realized, mama possum might be drowned. The wildlife toll from this flooding must be significant.

I wonder what a possum would think of a footprint on its back. I'm guessing they could be vicious.

giant devil rats

One of my worst memories from living in Kansas City was going onto the back porch at 11 pm one hot muggy summer night and repositioning the garbage can liner as it had slid down. When I did that (and my face was 6 inches from the garbage can) the garbage moved and I shrieked like a little girl. I kicked over the can and a #@%@#!possum scurried out. giant devil rats is right.

I thought we had moved on and were talking about the Rockets and the Hawks.
