Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.
