MoRe MaCro MeSS Plus a Tale

Nothing to say about these practice shots, so will tell you the story of why I night be seen on the FBI most wanted wall in your local post office.

 

 

The day after Hurricane Ian struck, Beau and I were walking, and I noticed a big tree in a neighbor's yard that was leaning, and the roots had pulled up on one side about 4 inches. One good puff of wind or a rainstorm and it would fall on the master bedroom of the house.

Since Newcomers to Florida are often unaware of how our soil works,

I carefully opened the gate to the fence that guards the front door, walked Beau up to the video ring thingy and pushed the bell, walked Beau back out the gate and locked it and we stood there waiting.

No Answer. Each day for 4 days, I repeated the above.

Day 5, I saw Helen, who lives next door to the leaning tree, come out her door and she met Beau and I at the end of her driveway.

Before she could speak, I pointed at the tree and said did you notice that tree is about to fall on the house? I knocked 4 days in a row but no answer, do you know them?

She laughed and said, that is why I came out to talk.

I got a text from her last night, and she sent me a video of you ringing her doorbell. The text said, do you know this woman? she keeps ringing my doorbell.

Helen said I was worried about you thinking you needed help.

We laughed and laughed.

 I said Oh No, the neighbor across the street told me the man is a retired FBI agent, that now works security at the college. What if he put me on

Americas Most Wanted?

Helen said she would answer the text with info on the tree.

Two days later, the Ex FBI Guy, was getting in his car when we walked by, and I asked 

Did you get the message about your tree?

He said, yes, we did, and they are coming to remove it Saturday Morning.

He did NOT say Thank you! He did not even LOOK at Beau or speak to him.

And I know they have a huge German Shepherd, I saw him once getting in a car and hear 

him when he is in the backyard.

 How disappointing. for Me and Beau.

I might have had a fleeting thought of hoping the tree might just fall on the house before Saturday.

It did not. 

Sunday morning the tree was gone

And we are now waiting on Nicole, she should be slapping us with gusting winds about the time this post hits and we once again await wind gusts to 5- to 60 or higher here.

Early AM Thursday, is supposed to be the worst.
