Northerner living in South gets played

Steve Baker, president and publisher at TPI

went out to the trash container last week. At our condos, we have the big gray dumpsters with sliding black doors. You hope your neighbors shut them but occasionally the door is left open.

Crazy things happen when you are in a hurry. I slid the door open and wound up to toss the trash bag in and out jumps a big rat! Man, was that critter ugly.
