—”Corinthian leather is a term coined by the advertising agency Bozell in 1974”

Is that to imply Mr. Roarke was untruthful?

No way.

—”Looks like a plastic tower that was not plastic enough.”

That assessment will require a full review of the design specifications.

Could have been a swarm of homeless woodpeckers?

“Well, the ambulance arrived too late
I guess she didn’t want to wait”

For some reason the whole mess made me think of that lyric.

—”. There would be no end of leftist outrage if it were a German firm making these dangerous and obviously poorly designed wind turbines.”

But they purchased it for a very good price.

—”Of course this’ll be listed as yet another unvaccinated covid fatality.”

Kind of sort of, almost true.

Due to labor shortages from the lockdown, they were forced to find help where they could.

Perhaps some training issues were involved?
And they did receive a very good price.
