The Great Plotnik

Tegucigalpa and Ouagadougou



Both sides of the attic roof are now insulated. There's one side and here's the other.



Anybody with an attic knows that to repair anything in it you have to clean all the garbage out and to do that you have to put it all somewhere. Fortunately, BZWZ's room is right across the hall and it's not being occupied these days.



See those two sets of skis? They haven't been used in, let's say decades. When Plottie and Ducknik got them they lived in The Big Shmapple and skied whenever they could, but that was before bad knees and the development of snowboards.

At the time, the Plotniks were sick to death of the pretentious ski chalet cities that people had engraved on their skis: Janet Schultz, Aspen or Herman Klotz, Davos or Margaret Schmutz, Banff. So Plotnik and Ducknik picked the two cities where there has never been snow in recorded history. Thus, their skis read: The Great Plotnik, Tegucigalpa, and The Great Ducknik, Ouagadougou.

It's because of those great names that Plottie hasn't sold the skis, though they're certain to never get used again. This is why attics become impassable.

Oh, the mess of it all. Great post, it made me smile broadly. Good job on the insulation!
