The phone rang. I answered. It was Carl yet again. Carl does this all the time. Someone should take Carl's phone away. He says "Aloha." One word then silence. Carl has made a habit of this.

I purchased a house down the street from Carl about two years ago. All the neighbors know each other and Carl considers this closeness, this fate proximity permits take control of telephone lines like Carl is the friendliest Genghis Khan in history.

Filling in the dead space I inquire the reason for the call. He tells me to come over to his house so he could show me something. Subterfuge bounces off Carl like rubber. I walked to Carl's house

Carl's home is about as loud as Carl. Example: his yard always displays seasonal decorations. Winter is just coming to an end and so what is on display? A huge, inflatable bunny. Gaudy, swaying, it welcomes me. The best neighbor ever swings open his front door before I can ring the doorbell. Cupping my arm he back towards his front yard. He looks up. I look up. My brain is the saddest white canvas and Carl is the happy painter. I wait.

"Do you see that?" Not really, I respond. "I installed a gutter cover." Wow. "I love it". That seamless gutter cover stops leaves and stuff from blocking water flow, which limits how often I have to clear it." Surprisingly, Carl's idea was actually helpful.
