    Just in case you want to cry, too...

    ...the hay ride at the local pumpkin festival went by this baby and I was very sad that it couldn't come home with me...

    You should go ask them if you can remove that ugly looking dead tree and you would do it for free

    It's funny, we as woodworkers see a tree like that and start frothing at the mouth. A "normal" person looks at the tree and thinks "someone should get rid of that hideous thing". My wife now even spots burl growth and points them out to me.

    You cannot control the action of others, you can only control your reaction to them.
