“Roofitis”

This is a ‘disease’ that men with a pick-up & a ladder try to spread throughout neighborhoods. They come on all suave, trying to sound & look intelligent, while looking at the prey’s roof, from the ground.

In the news

I have the 11:00 AM news on, & again, I shouldn’t have.
The Rockies, who are presently down the 1st game, are coming back home tomorrow to play at Coors Field. The news people are talking to the food vendors about what’ll be served during the game. One of the things they’re talking about is Rocky Mountain Oysters. [...]
