During that miserable WorldCon trip, as I was walking back to the youth hostel with Lyda, we saw a cockroach walk across the sidewalk right in front of us.
That cockroach was FREAKING ENORMOUS. We have cockroaches that big in Minnesota. IN THE INSECT EXHIBIT AT THE ZOO.
Mice, on the other hand -- you'd think they'd avoid the house with four cats, but we get one every couple of years. (The cats usually dispatch it within 24 hours of me hearing the scrabbly noises of a mouse in the house. I do wish I could persuade them to kill them all the way before they bring them to me. Also, there is no sign on my bedroom slippers saying Dead Mice Go Here.)
