opossum sighting on 2nd Street NW

See this message from a 2nd Street NW resident:

Last night I saw a possum on the sidewalk outside my house. If you haven't seen one before, let me warn you, they are not handsome creatures...At.All.

With its back to me it appeared to be a large kitten or a small cat but then it turned towards me to reveal a snout-like nose and when it ran off I saw that it had a long, thin tail like a rat.

I had to run a Google search to confirm that it was in fact a possum and, yep, that's exactly what I saw.
