Big City Phenomena--Rats and Pigeons

Why do big cities have such huge rat and pigeon populations? I don't get it. Smaller communities don't have this problem and the populations of rats and pigeons is overwhelming. I realize its dirty and these animals thrive on dirt and nastiness but it still baffles me. By the way, I don't see rats on the streets or alleys...I saw my first rat today on the Red Line tracks...the moving box gave it away. Pigeons, however, dive bomb me on a regular basis.

I spoke with my parents tonight. We talk on the phone once a week...feels good to connect. Nothing new at home, just the same old stuff. Its good some things stay the same.

The building turned the heat on for the first time last night. Got down to 40 degrees, that must be their sign to crank it up. I have the heat on and the window open...something is wrong with this picture!

I miss my friends. Emmy Lou, Nelle and Schill. Love my girls, wish I could see them more often.

Life is pretty good right now. No major complaints.

Night!
