85th Street: "Might be trying to actually start to rain... right on time (just the wrong time zone)."

95th Street: "Man, those are some FAT raindrops. Round, even."

108th Street: "Let's see if we can get the flooring out of the trunk before it really starts to rain."

110th Street: "Okay, maybe we'll pull the car around and toss it in through the garage."

Happy Turkey Day, Turkey Night, and Turkey Weekend, or just have an enjoyable late November, folks.

So as most of you have heard, our roof parted ways with us (and itself) last Friday. Cleverly enough, our homeowner's insurance appears to actually cover this sort of thing, so we'll be getting new coverage sometime Real Soon Now. We even get our choice of shingles (within reason)! Mostly we're down to one light color and one dark color, but you can take a look if you like...

Current (or should I say, former) roofline of our house.
