Friends sent them to us from Japan – our longest is about 3 meters long. The customs people here wouldn’t believe that they were toys, and we ended up paying a lot in customs fees after a big discussion.

If there is one thing that I have to take with me when I leave it’s those.

My favourites are the bigger than people, sometimes bigger than two people ones. My little village is all flapping with them.

I want some meduim sized ones. Did you get yours when you lived here?

St. Helens erupted in 1980, I had a business for a few weeks cleaning volcanic ash out of people’s gutters. Luckily, most homes in town were one-storey and did not have steep roofs. Unluckily, many had wood shake or wood shingle roofs, which get slimy.

The problem is, they are about 35 feet off of the ground (my basement is partially above ground, and it’s a two story home). The only ladder I have is 15 feet. Therefore, what I have to do is climb up the ladder to the top of my screened-in porch, which has a roof. From there, I must pull the ladder up, and set it up so that I can just barely reach one edge of the house roof. The roof of the screened-in porch is NOT flat, and I weigh slightly more than I feel comfortable with my ladder supporting at full extension. Additionally, my house is a Dutch Colonial Revival style built in 1924, so the roof is STEEP.

Needless to say, before I even made it three-fourths of the way up the ladder, I was already mentally in the kitchen searching for the number of Lowe’s Gutter Service.

They’re coming next week.
