Huge storm here a few nights ago. Yesterday I go outside and find a huge branch blocking the sidewalk in front. Not as huge as that tree you showed above, but still huge. Big enough that people walking by will be detouring onto what's left of my front lawn to get around it, lol. But as it happens it's from a city tree on city property, ie; the boulevard.

I called the city at their 3-1-1 number. Said they'll be around to deal with it in the next 1 to 2 days. No wait... WEEKS. I'm in no shape right now to tackle a thing like that. 10 or 12 years ago I'd have thought nothing of demolishing that branch, but not now. Still in the post-surgery convalescing phase.

Other than that it's a hot humid sunny day here, got the A/C on, am sipping the last of the morning coffee and basking in the coolness... and empathizing about the "tree".
