return of the son of monster magnet
yesterday there was a blinger of a storm racing past the office in the afternoon. i did not have the camera so i couldn't record the piles of hailstones (a mix of pea-sized to something of the order of large blackberries), or the fierce winds, or the deep runoff in the grassy swales. i did see a dead tree blow over in the thin strip of woods remaining between our parking lot and the latest addition to avis farms, and i thought the noise it made upon impact was rather loud and sharp, but i thought nothing more of it until this morning, when i took a look at the neighbor's new jeep; apparently it offerred little resistance apart from breaking the main trunk in two.
i don't ordinarily make note of the location of large, dead tree trunks relative to the spot where i have parked my car (on those infrequent occasions when i actually do park my car), but perhaps i will begin to do so. it's a good thing nobody was hurt by this.
