I’m surprised they let golfers in there in those conditions . Doesn’t that leave hoof prints in the grass? Hoof prints would be the least of the course's worries. The continuous rain has wreaked havoc with the greens and much of the fairways. We were the only group out there today. I saw two singles other than us. The course is losing money big time. |

The big difference is they are natives and not the nasty imports that get in your food, live in your furniture and eat the bindings out of your books. I lived with "apartment house" roaches for a good part of my early life in DC and these are nothing like them. BTW "palmetto bug" is just something we say so as not to scare off the tourists.

I kicked one at the Giant Food office in Landover. Surprised the hell out of me. Most of what we have here are Norwegian rats. But, they may be the same thing. They don't look any different than the ones you have in your picture. I was talking about the roach. I agree I mostly saw Norwegian rats in DC. They were thick down there where Harry works. The IBM office was 1801 K and at night the rats were running around K street eating out of Marion Barry's cardboard trash cans. They would eat a hole in the bottom and go up in there to graze. You could kick one of those cans and a half dozen rats would come running out. The biggest difference between a roof rat (rattus rattus) and a Norway (Rattus norvegicus) other than size (roof rats are smaller) is the length of the tail. A roof rat has a tail longer than the body and fairly thin. A Norway has a shorter fat tail. The roof rats around here are country rats and really not much different than squirrels. I am sure they will be sharing the same fleas and thus the same diseases. You don't want either of them in your attic. ;-) |
