Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Something dark just fell past my window and landed with a *phthphat* noise in front of my house. I went downstairs for a look.

It's a large part of a sheet of roofing asphalt-paper, with a row of nails sticking out of it. I'm not sure which house it came off of, and given the wind direction it seems it ought to have blown thisaway from the house at the end of the block, but there's a coat of silver roofing tar on one side -- like the silver stuff on my roof, and it looks to have about the same amount of weathering as what I can see on the second-floor roof -- and it did fall pretty close to vertical as it passed the window.

Now I really wish I'd managed to get that ladder up so I'd know what my third-floor roof currently looks like, whether there are loose edges or torn off bits, etc.
