It's time to get the Christmas lights out of the attic and strapped to the gutters. This is one of two times each year that I put the extension ladder year to use. The second use is taking the lights off of the gutters.
I recruited a few helpers for this task but it turned out they refused to get on the ladder. As I made my first trip up the ladder they asked me who they should call.
I asked what they meant and they asked if they should call mom or call 911 when I fall to the ground. "It depends on if I'm breathing.", I answered.
Their lack of confidence in me was a bit surprising considering my 100% non-fall rate over the years.
