I've seen an occasional opposum crossing the street here now and then. They're easily mistaken for a rat.

One lives under my porch and eats the leftover catfood every night. Maybe I should ask for a Reality TV show to spellbind New Yorkers. Yawn....

We had a new pilot (from Maine, i think)sign on to the Texas oil company I was flying for way back then. One early one morning ('bout 5:30)I arrived at the rear door to the hanger.
There was my new co-pilot throwing rocks in to the dumpster, and looking terrified. He said " don't go near the dumpster, there's the biggest rat I ever saw in there!!
I looked in to see a very disturbed possum hissing back at us.
I said " Possum, this here is a Yankee, Yankee this here is a Possum"
There now is some fellow from Maine trying to explain how he got the good old fashioned Southern nickname "Possum"
