Rat Attacks MidTown
A few of us gawked out my cubicle window, guessing what the giant rat across the street was wild eyed about.
Ilya thought our neighbors were celebrating the Chinese New Year, (2008 is year of the rat,) to one-up their Christmas decoration. AsiaTown is on the other side of MidTown, though.
I wondered if the rats in Public Square had fled uptown, escaping the poisoning of their boroughs.
John guessed correctly: a showing against non-union labor. We hadn't seen the scab on the rat's underbelly, but it was grossly apparent when I went outside to shoot {photos of / the bull with} the guys making their stand.
