Today’s theme from ConWorkShop is things that you might find hanging from the roof. While life is as uncertain as a vote-player on the roof, you might actually find yourself hanging from the roof. Most likely, you would then be hanging on for dear life from the rain gutter or eavestrough. What’s an eavestrough, you may well ask. I’m glad you asked.
