Something is running around on my roof AGAIN!
I need to not stay up. Then maybe I wouldn't notice THE CREEPY NOISE ALL OVER MY ROOF AT TWO O'CLOCK IN THE FREAKIN MORNING.

Seriously, do exterminators do rats? Cause it's gotta be a rat.

2. I had that happen once....It was a raccoon taking his prey up there
for the kill.
He made a LOT of noise and left quite a mess behind.
He seemed to get there from nearby branches.

4. raccoons and their families do relay races up on my roof
I kid you not. There were about ten of them up there and when you shine a flashlight on them they all stop and say "I wasn't doing anything." When you go back in the races restart.
