I had forgotten about the bayous there. About all we see of Houston is when we're going to Galveston and on 610 and 45. Speaking of rats I've got a big non-flowering Mulberry tree in my front yard and since the ground is so dry and has been for years I guess some rats have tunneled underground and now the ground is sinking. I used to have a family of frogs that lived inside one of the large roots that had kind of rotted out but they disappeared I guess the rats may have eaten them. That's pretty bad reporting your post over that.
