Upon exiting to Canal Street from the Downtown Local 1 train, I was greeted by a man with a big fat albino rat on his head, which nested comfortably atop his curly mane. The tail trailed down the back of the gentleman's head, pink and proud, while the rodents two tiny front paws gently patted its hosts forehead.
I could not help but stare, at which point the man tipped his head toward me in a stately bow, while his rat friend clawed to remain appropriately balanced.
I live in Washington, D.C. No, I do not live near the Jefferson Memorial. I break for ground hogs. I sneeze in prime numbers. I like Bunsen Burners. And bumble bees. I drove to the Grand Canyon. And back. I wear flip flops all year round. My feet are often dirty.
