:What's the scoop concerning the errant answering machine?

Telephone poles burned. I was thinking that I could have left a cell

have given me the same false indication.

I can't believe that some people still have shake roofs. You might as

cedar shakes that is.

In the wealthy areas surrounding Kansas City, most of
the upscale homes are being constructed with 'em.
In some subdivisions, they are/were required by
home owner associations.
