"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

Lol, Handy, MooWuf, Woods, YETI! I worked in a building where on one of the floors there was a company called The Joint Distribution Committee. Always dreamed of working there, though I'd certainly have been done for embezzlement within the first week.

It's not a perfect book, but there are lots of funny bits in "The Constant Rabbit" by Jasper Fforde addressing things like what happens if rabbits buy a house in your neighborhood and bring their goddamn carrot addictions, compulsive burrowing, and shoplifting of lettuce with them, driving down your property values.

I think it's the rising temps. Way more rats than there used to be, too. But the bunnies are cuter.

Handy Haversack:

Rabbit populations go in cycles, swelling until disease (myxomatosis, often) takes them out. So maybe that's what you have locally, YB?

Rabbits in NYC ... I have only ever seen a couple in Prospect Park. It's too tough around here for 'em. Raccoons, possum, cats fill the urban furry niches.

Here it's not rabbits, it's ring-necked parakeets. From a small local population in the SW of the city, they've exploded out all over in the past few years.

Rats are rate in Greenpoint, at least around here. I was here ten years before the cat neuter-and-release programs decreased the cat population enough that I actually saw a rat. We still have tons of cats around.

They better be, steveo. Some of these feral cats look like they could take down a goat. I say we release hundreds of goats in the neighborhood and see what happens.

Ah, here's an article from the Chicago Reader. And it mentions Night of the Lepus, before saying "Chicago rabbits may not be quite as big, but their numbers have risen dramatically since the 1990s, when Mayor Daley's various greening projects began to invite more woodland creatures into an urban environment. Drawn by the elevated heat level of the city, rabbits began spreading from parks into grassy areas like expressway ramps, and even made their way into the Loop."
