CODA: R.I.P., Baby Opossum

We had just returned from the New York Sports Club, and I was making a very nice salad for lunch when My Better Half came in and reported there was a rat, dead, in the passage next to our home, where the trash bins are kept.When I went outside to survey the carnage and determine the logistics of cleanup, it was immediately apparent that this tweren't no rat.Nope, the little varmint turned out to be a baby opossum that had gone for the count.My son and I did the necessary critter removal and that was that.
