The guy who did our roof is a long-time acquaintance - Osiris did some work for this guy in the past (so, this guy doesn't limit himself to Hispanic guys). He treats his guys well. I don't know what kind of background check he does, but I know we had some hard-working men up there.

We know the contractor who did our roof, he treats his workers well. I have no reason to believe any of them are illegal. "American Men Roofing, Inc." picked a name and a slogan ("Know who's on your roof.")that appeals to certain section of people without outright saying "We're white guys!"

Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled. - Dr. Benjamin Spock (May 2, 1903 – March 15, 1998)

As I replied to CFAmick: When our roof was re-done (after Hurricane Isaac), the contractor was a friend, and his workers were mostly Mexicans (legal and good at their jobs). They were there to do a job, and they did it. I wasn't scared.

But wait, there's more:

Next week's challenge: This week's challenge comes from listener Timothy Gotwald of Chambersburg, Pa. Think of a word that means "entrance." Interchange the second and fourth letters, and you'll get a new word that means "exit." What words are these?

That does sound like a a thing I would like. Thank you, Anti-Monitor.

Again, Puzzlemaster Will Shortz failed to call me this week, even though I knew the answer - Mariah Carey - to his puzzle.

I thought they were getting progressively younger with each iteration of Jack Ryan, but they aren't making "Jack Ryan, Student Council President" after all.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I sometimes can't get my ring off right away, but it'll come off later, but that's due to temperature changes and water retention, which don't affect one's skull!

The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser is the most Rob Zombie title that Rob Zombie ever Rob Zombie'd!

Davy Jones is dead, though.

What are you, the "but wait" police? The "Can't Hardly Wait" Police? The "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" police? The "legen - wait for it - diary" police? The Tom Waits police?

But wait, there's more!

Right, because I then had to figure out what other sitcom was on.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. - Terry Pratchett (28 April 1948 – 12 March 2015)

You learned the word "ephemeral", though.

I read "Le Petit Prince" in high school French, and learned the word "ephemeral" in both languages (éphémère). Son of Isis had a book-on-tape of "The Little Prince" (in English) read by Louis Jourdan (so in French-accented English).

Not long ago, my brother quoted our Clever Niece (teenager) as saying that Disney shouldn't make "Watership Down" because "They can't have the blood." Netflix can, though.
