Just a very big squirrel. The first time I saw one of these in the Villages though I thought I was having another nervous breakdown. I have not had one of those since March-April of 2000. Knock on wood. And something else was going on back there in Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs. I did not see a pookah like Harvey though or any huge squirrels. No nervous breakdowns before that in my life either.

I did see some real rats though. Reported them to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office on September 18, 2002 in person at their Headquarters but the Criminal Intelligence Detectives told me over the next few weeks that there was nothing criminal in what the rats had tried to do to me. The rats did bring about the March-April 2000 nervous breakdown so they got me pretty good.
