All fall down......

"Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down......." R. Frost

Don't remember the poem but that p'ticklar line stuck in my mind....along with 'what goes up must come down'.....well, trees grow up 'n trees come down...generally takes a few years 'n depends on a multitude of factors....some oak trees stand for a couple hundred years....Heck, some redwoods stand for a few thousand...I can't remember what kind of tree that sciencetists cut down a couple years ago in order to prove that it was the oldest tree on earth...don't know why human curiosity leads us to destroy things in order to study them...you'd think that if we looked at a tree that we suspected might be the oldest tree on the earth, why we'd just naturally want to protect it, maybe build a fence around it, put up a placard 'n charge people for looking at it but, no, we killed it. Cut it down in order to count the damn rings....sort of like Trophy Hunting....find the biggest 'n best of a specie 'n kill it to hang the corpse on a wall somewhere....makes you wonder if maybe somewhere in the universe there might be a 'civilization' like our own that has a trophy human stuffed 'n mounted....anyways, I digress again....Millyrose was invited to spend some time with an old friend....ackshully, both of us were invited but I couldn't take the dogs 'n I didn't want to board 'em out for a week so I didn't go....what I did do, however, was volunteer to drop Millyrose off....sort of a Plan B thing....
We rolled out’a here a few minutes before ten in the AM headed for Lake Tahoe.....Larry didn’t get here until around noon....inbetween times, the last of the trio of oak trees in the phone company parking lot decided to drop a branch..
It wasn’t a huge branch but it wasn’t all that small either....sort of a middling size branch, I guess you c’d say....too big for me to pick up ‘n toss back over the fence tho’... Actually, too big for me to have picked up 20 or 30 years ago altho’ back then I might have just grabbed a chainsaw ‘n cut the damn thing up m’self.....not t’day however....this time I went around to the phone company, opened the phone mounted by the door ‘n follyed the directions...spoke with Ann who took my name ‘n phone number ‘n promised to pass them on to a supervisor.... Glory in the morning....I got a call the next morning....’n t’day, early this morning, I got another call from Jerome of the giant rocks who assured me that he would come around ‘n take care of the fallen branch.....
