Last week I was hosting our weekly Saturday night poker game. We had the sliding glass door to the patio open to take advantage of the great South Florida weather. About 2 hours into the game, I noticed a gray blur streak across the back patio at the fence line. I sat out the next hand to see what it was if it was to reappear.

When it ran across the patio again, I correctly ID'ed it as a large rat. I excused myself from the game, went upstairs and removed the VIDAR  from the safe. When I came back downstairs  I got comments of "man you are not going to shoot that rat" "you couldent hit it" etc. from two players who didnt know me very well. At these comments Mrs.E6 promptly made wagers that if Mr.Raton stuck his head back out, he was getting poped with the first shot.

To make a long story short, Mrs.E6 won her bets . I bet thats poker night will be disscussed for many years.

 

Sgtar, the scope look familiar?
