#5 - First line and the last lines

This blog post is from Taelah and Ayla:
There are two parts to the blog this time around:

PART #1:

The following people are paired together and you should include the following elements:

New common character: Ethel homeless woman, middle-aged and pushes a shopping cart.

Weather: It's really hot and no air-conditioning in the building.

A paneled van's backdoors open and 6 cans of paint fall out and spill out randomly down Collingwood, Myrtle, Exeter, Ember roads as the truck rolls through the town and basically covers lots of the street.

Bill the Balloon starts selling balloons again but he looks kinda like mummy because of his bandages. Since it's near Halloween, his balloons have that theme going.

PART #2
Scroll down this list and find your character's name.  Your blog should either start with this phrase, or end with it.
