random picture of the moment: oops

i was just arriving home getting ready to drop my stuff off and obtain my new phone, and i rounded the corner from my house and saw this:




as i rounded the corner, the lady who lives in the house on the right (you can see her driveway) was waving madly at me to get my attention. which at the time was focused on the tree. she was able to flag a passing cop who called it in.

spoke with the homeowner right after taking the picture and he told me that he was glad it didn't fall on anyone (there are a bunch of kids nearby). i noted that it was a good thing the power/cable/telephone lines were on the other side of the street.

i'm not sure when it was cleared by the town, but they made short work of it, and yesterday, the rest of the tree was removed. a little odd seeing that yard a bit more open now.
