Legion’s Top 5 City Creatures:
5. Squirrels :fuzzy and cute, they like to play and have fun with each other.
downside: if they get in your house it’s a big problem.
4. Racoons: fuzzy and cute again, with those burgler goggles around their eyes.
downside: rabies, and fierce in a corner.
3. Seagulls: fun to watch floating over the water and on the seashore, very graceful in flight.
downside: will scratch the paint job on your car if they land on it. From experience.
4. Horseshoe Crabs: Practically the oldest creature in existence besides the Nautilus. Harmless to humans and alien looking. No downside as far as I know, in fact their hemoglobin is important in medicine.
5. Opossums: They’re cuddly and a mortal enemy of the rat.
They also have a pouch and don’t bother humans, in fact they avoid us if they can.
Downside: often mistaken for a giant rat, due to huge tail.
DIBS, Looks like $5,364 difference.
Will report back when I find out what exactly is going on.
M4L, this is a pre-war condo.
Off to lunch meeting. Thanx to all.
“Nouriel Roubini purchased a $5.5MM Manhattan condo.”
I guess he no longer thinks market is “frothy” or it’s play money.
I ised to see rats in a warhouse along the river in Chicago that were as big as raccoons.
Legion, I’ve seen rats big enough to catch AFTER cats. at that size, the freaking teeth and tail is outright scary
I used to see gigantic rats outside the Clinton-Washington C train station. They moved very slow, too, probably because they were pumped full of poison on the subway tracks.
Legion, that sounds like a Bushwick rat.
I was in bed-stuy last night and saw the largest rat
I’ve ever seen crossing the street on Greene just off
Broadway, near the food pantry.
The thing looked like a squirrel,
but they’re diurnal and have bushy tails.
So DCB, is this a deal breaker? Or do you think they’ll now go down on their price since they’ve been caught out (yet again?)
