One advantage to doing that is now the weather is good, and should there still be a leak, the roofer can have a second go at it. There wouldn't be any wind, though, so the faucet would have to be turned on all the way.<br /><br />Yes, there was a big discussion on the news when I woke up about the 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court in striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.

Maintenant je voudrais qu'elle continue. Si mon second vœu est aussi efficace que mon premier, nous n'avons pas grand-chose à craindre. Ne parlons pas de bonheur, on pourrait dire.<br /><br />Evelyn, I might well try that, but I think I might wait a couple of months in the hope that Nature will intervene.
