Rats are enjoying fresh ocean breezes these days as they vacation in the lovely city of Halifax, just a short drive from Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg and Crystal Crescent Beach Park on Pennant Point.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after listening to news about rats in Halifax on CBC Radio, and recalling I stayed at a hostel there just two months ago, my wife asked, “Did you see any rats while you were there?”

“No,” I said. “But while packing up my bike to go home three short, hairy guys helped me carry my luggage to the curb. In return, all they wanted was a piece of cheese.”

I didn’t have to look. I could hear her roll her eyes.

I’d go back to Halifax in a heart-beat.

Rats, or no rats.
