It was expensive but being impenetrable feels good. The roof work is finished. No more provocative photos of people too high on ladders pissing off my friends who warn me how irresponsible I am and accidents will happen. I know they can happen but the guy did say he has insurance and he did say he does this all the time and he did say it&#8217;ll be another two thousand dollars if we rent a cherry picker. The house next door sold and the new owner gutted it and finds a racoon cadaver in the attic, mummified in the drywall. He asks how anyone lived with the smell. I do not know. Hope it was before my time. There are other home things to repair, it&#8217;s best done before winter arrives. The latest Kombucha is my best ever and this must be because I forgot about it, it sat there fifteen days instead of one week. Accidents lead the way. There is a song I&#8217;m writing and I fall into a pattern that annoys me because I can&#8217;t yet see my way out of repeating what already works but this bores me because it works the same as many of my previous compositions. Who likes sounding the way they always do? Pas moi. I&#8217;m looking for accidents. My favourite part about that Edie Brickell record we made that never saw the light of day was when in the midst of practising\/ writing we had a good verse or chorus and then I wanted a bridge and would stop the band and say so. She would yell out a random letter with a big Texas smile. Gee sharp! And even if we were in a key too close to G#, like A for instance, we would try it and through repetition it worked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Squirrels, racoons and birds need places for their babies, good luck elsewhere guys.
