Something Unexciting, and Probably Not Completely Different

Well, Gustav is blowing through, and I’m actually a little scared.  Just about every tree has dropped, at my guess, 1/3 of its branches.  Some have cracked halfway up; others just dropping limbs as big as a 16 inches in diameter.  I live in an older neighborhood, full of trees, which is what makes it so wonderful, until a day like today, and then it’s just downright scary.  3-4 more hours to go…  Every time the wind changes, a new set of limbs drop.  One fairly large tree, on our property line, just in front of both my house and my neighbors, just broke halfway up and fell just onto the edge of our neighbors house.  Hopefully not too much damage, but you can’t really tell because the whole thing is as tall as the house.  (They are ok.)  Gonna be fun to clean all this up…
