A burglar scenario

Dec. 5

two above zero !

Denise makes nice pot of plea soup and ham, puts it on the front porch to cool and marry. It will be OK for it to freeze as it surely will by nightfall.

Lo, no sooner has Dee left but a roving band of raccoon burglars are spied on the porch. Confronting them, we ask what they are doing.

"Sir," the armed leader says, "we are just hugging this kettle for warmth, and we are naturally attracted to shiny metal."

We signal our disbelief of the shiny metal part.

But the armed leader says, "No really! You haven't noticed us taking a shine to your gray fireplace ash can, have you?"

Soup brought inside and taken to the basement, just in case.
