Rick Simpson came to our door to tell us that a big tree had fallen across our our path in the woods behind his house. We had to run right down there to check it out. You can only get a sense of how big this tree is by clicking the photo and spotting Peggi in the lower right hand corner. We had sixty mile an hour winds yesterday and there must have been some sort of micro burst in this one spot because four trees came down in a row.
We got a panicked call from Kevin Patrick on Christmas day about the audio player misbehaving on his blog. I had recommended the One Pixel Out player but it wasn’t set up right so he gave us access and we duked it out. I’m so glad we were able to help because I love this site and I love “Zabadak” by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich. We didn’t hear this tree fall in the woods but I’m quite sure it went “Zabadak”.

That tree must be the size of a planet – Peggi is just a speck!
I had a big one, although not THAT big, fall in the woods right behind my house on the day after Christmas, when it rained so much. So it was due to saturated soil, not the big wind. I happended to be standing by my back glass door, and I heard the crack of what I thought to be a gunshot. I looked up in time to see the slow-motion demise. But like so many trees in that woods, it got caught on another tree, so now it sits over a trail at a 45-degree angle, waiting for graviity to win out.
