CLEAR THOSE GUTTERS! I don't really have real gutter, just bathtub roofs with exit points. Single points of failure. Usually good but for leaves on the porch or ice dams.

I need to make a second check. I got most of the leaves, but there were still more floating in the soup.

Second foray to the roof, all is clear. I wore my raincoat this time. Still soaked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think...I think I need to read electronically. I'm in the flush of new purchase and there's no good fic in my current niche right now (I'm a bit behind in Inception), sure, but I'm almost done my first book on my Nook.

Do we even HAVE a ladder?

As of today, I can assure you that Home Depot's prices on 8' ladders beat those of Loews.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Good to know, all. Thanks.

I want one of those telescoping ladders like my inspector had. Compact, easy to move and store, plenty of reach. Should get one before snow season.

Be careful on ladders!

I was forever traumatized in my early online days finding a widows grieving group and I swear the majority of sudden deaths were from their husbands falling off ladders. A twenty foot drop can kill you.

Did I mention being on the roof in a rainstorm?? A pitched roof? Ladders are the least of my concern.

Gravity is a harsh mistress. And it's a lot more certain than lightning.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ian Anthony Dale: call me. SRSLY.

Inorite? I have a cousin in the cast and I've told him that if Ian is ever in NYC without dinner plans HE SHOULD GIVE ME A CALL.
