I'm pretty sure I saw a Nutra-rat Sunday evening. I was looking for some turtles and saw what appeared to be a beaver a couple of yards away. The creature swam away quickly into a strorm drainage pipe and I decided not to swim in after him but went to get a flashlight. I couldn't find it after that and was kind of disappointed. I did see a few turtles though and the Nutrarat was worth the price of admission.  I hear Nutras are good eatin'!

When I was at the beach last time I noticed that there are "water cockroaches" out in the rocks along the shore. Is it just me or do they seem not as bad as regular roaches because they're always getting wet (albeit from sticky, sandy beach water) and therefore at least a little cleaner than land roaches? I really don't like roaches. My new place had/has a mouse. I saw him once by the corner on the floor and once climbing up the wall(which is carpeted). I sealed off a lot of the cracks with foam and put all the food into plastic containers. The mouse had eaten the corners off 5 or 6 hot cocoa packets and left a spillable booby trap before eating a few bite-size (for people...a feast for him) candy bars. There were Heath bars and a few Kit-kats but I'm not sure which he enjoyed more. I had forgotten how tough rodents are. They will tear into ketchup and soy sauce packets if that's all that's around and leave little ketchup footprints, I've seen it with my own two eyes. Still better than roaches if you ask me. Thanks for visiting the site and we'll see ya'll in Baton Rouge on Thursday. We'll have a radio show that afternoon to promote so it'll be a great gig. Thanks for visiting the site and we'll see you soon!
