Better than having the wind/gravity/ants do the work. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I was taking a nap a few years ago and hear a 'whump' just outside the window; had a dead spruce come down; missed the corner of the house by a matter of inches. The carpenter ants wreak havoc with the old stuff around here.

Nice to hear from you Ted; heard the winds around Newport were clocked at 95 mph. Was thinking about you guys.

Pretty amazing weather down that way. Makes -40F seem pretty tame.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
