Reader Q:
Have you seen The Ratter lately?
Hey, hey, The Ratter! I haven’t seen him, but one night when I stayed out recently, way off in the distance I heard MRAAWRAWWRRR and some squeaking. Got one!

The Brass Door is resurfacing the bar today and tomorrow and will reopen Saturday.
Fiesta Bowl: 10 Miami vs. 6 Ole Miss, CFP semifinal, is tonight. 6:30 on ESPN.
