Well, his next-door neighbors are gonna go home and build something together, you bet….

A higher fence.

Monkeeee!I think you’d better go tell them about the 6 ft 3" height limit (well, 7 ft 1.5 ", but only with a variance and proper permits, of course.)

The look in their eyes says “8.7 feet.”

Um… OK, Bev…. can we start with a banana dak?

I got one right here with your name on it.

Are we gonna build something? I have a saw.

Hey, I know. Let’s do a “Tobacco Road.”You know…♪♬ Blow it up, tear it downStart all over again. ♪♬And have a couple more ‘daks (beer for me thanks) while we’re at it.

Gregory (love the name) is channeling way too much Bob the Builder.He would watch a more interesting you can do this yourself home destruction program but his dog has run off with the remote.Gregory (what a name, sounds like royalty!!) has promised for months to fix the leaky roof on Rex’s summer home but due to a lack of focus Gregory (yep, its royalty) has not finished what he said he would do.MEANWHILEThe baby girl is growing up nicely on Martian Confederacy. The diaper is changed a bit more frequently. Lou has discovered a new switch on her android body but is afraid to use it. Boone has contracted some “problems” sleeping around too much but the doc said some antibiotics will cure that right up. Gregory……..ha!

Things fall apart.

The Center cannot hold.

Build Gregory inside of a fence inside of a fence inside of a fence inside of a fence. Well you get the picture. He can start on the inside and we can just keep handing him the material he needs. lets not mention a gate OK.

Ow… my head…

What did I DO last night? oh yeah….It’s coming back…. ooh… I wish it wouldn’t.

Last night banana daks sounded so good … today what sounds good is ibuprofen and … I guess a glass of water. I don’t really want to drink even that.

How do you do it, Bev?A bloody Mary would kill me.It’s that why they call it bloody?

What happened to the community center??!!

Fence? I vote for a wall…
