Ruggles the Rat

We watched an adorable little rodent (why such a detestable sounding title? no wonder their detestable reputation) yesterday. He/she--I'll call him/her Ruggles--lives in Williamsburg and is quite tame. Ruggles hung out for awhile, scampering in then out then in through the cracked door of a colorfully tagged warehouse. Ruggles even posed for me:


Yeah, so we re-did Williamsburg yesterday afternoon, making our way up then down Bedford Ave. We're seriously considering relocating (eventually) here--it has a real comfortable, neighborhood-y feel to it. Plus, many of its residents are youngish, the apartment bldgs are bright and cheery, and the rent--out from center--is affordable.

This got me laughing: As we made our way, I repeatedly hooked innocent passersby w/ my closed umbrella. I'd be walking along, handle facing downward, and I'd suddenly, inadvertently, stop in my tracks. Confused, I'd attempt another step, only to realize I was trailing someone behind me. I'd hear a noise of surprise as *my catch* protested, upon which I'd turn and smile guiltily: "oh gosh! sorry..." Tehe. Good clean fun--and not even on purpose!
