Why is there a Papergirl on the Roof?
You read that right, why is the papergirl on the roof?
Tonight Cherie and I were getting ready to go for a bike ride when there was a knock at our door. "Our ball is on your roof". Okay, says Cherie, I'll go get my husband with the ladder. Great, I thought, not something I was really wanting to do. Anyways, I get out there and the kids say "oh yeah, we tried to get it with the broom but it's up there too". Argh.
So I get the ladder and head out of the garage. I look up, waaaaaaaaaay up (anyone remember the Friendly Giant) and there on the neighbours roof is this:
Okay, of course this is not REALLY how she looks (the real papergirl has legs or that would be a whole other story), but there she was. She kinda caught Cherie off guard when she yelled down "hi" from the roof. The roof which she climbed out a window to get on to.
So up the ladder I went in a opening just wide enough for a ladder and me:
I managed to rescue both the ball and the broom. Maybe while I was up there I should have taken my neighbours Christmas lights down (note the extension cord and light still dangling from their roof) - it is June.

Christmas lights in June? All they need to class their joint up is a little Daytona 500 Men's Eau du Toilette!
I would comment on this but it seems that Barry has decided to censor a comment, namely one that was posted in regards to the Eau de Toilette.
What is really wrong with Christmas in July anyway? As your walking and noticing the white cord dangling down from those icicle lights on a house you pay good money for, it seems to put an extra hop in your stride. Perhaps reminiscent of gifts you received, hot chocolate by the fire with your loved ones, or even just snow lightiny topping the trees. It sort brings you back to a season that - how should I say - SUCKS! If I wanted to be reminded I'd leave my own up for crap sakes. Do yourself and the neighbourhood a favor a yank em down....
Seasons Greetings a concerned reader.....
