OH.MY. GODDD!
This evening as I was walking home in flip flops past the Bank of America building, I see something moving rather quickly toward me in the middle of the sidewalk, and figured it was just a piece of trash blowing in the wind. Trash does not weigh 2 lbs or have tiny claws. A rat just ran onto my foot and executed about 3 strides before it jumped off and ran the other direction.
