Shenanigans (2 March 18:00 PST)

So what shenanigans have you been up to lately? Can you tell me truly, now? For my part, I've been gadding about town, gallivanting galore through the higgledy-piggledy sewer deconstruction or 'renewal zones' of Portland, Oregon. Too bad for the citizens that the city fathers, most of whom live up in the West Hills or out-of-town, discontinued the sewer rat poisoning program so as to free monies for their pet projects. So now we citizens, living downtown or close in, have visits from sewer rats in the evening and early morning hours.
If you're quiet, as soon as twilight comes on, you can see rats prowling the shrubbery and sidewalks, and speeding swiftly along overhead cables. Faster than the squirrels, who come to frequent standstills every few yards, the rats use the cables as if they were sporting motorists on interstate freeways.
