I still have that plastic Rat... After it was "kidnapped", it
literally went all over the world!


There were actually two of those rats. After it was kidnapped and sent
around the world, someone introduced a second rat into the mix... One
of them spent some time with me, and went on holiday with my family. I
hope one found its way back to its master.


The one I saw just just a bit after the infamous ratnapping and I never had
heard that the first was returned. I saw the second rat, I believe, and met
it's doting owner at Moosefest. I caught my first glimpse as he was running
Fowlersville falls.


I rediscovered Ratt's link in my favorites file the other day:

Like many of you, Thanksgiving always brings back memories of both
Scott and Brian Reuff. Brian was a UNCA student who died over
Thanksgiving Break 2004 on a high water run of the Green Narrows:
