June 11, 2000: It doesn't take much to get us going around here. During Hurricane Floyd a tree was blown over (ok, so it takes a lot of time). We finally got around to making the tree stand up straight tonight, and that called for a party.
 |
The proper equipment for raising a tree can be found in a police car. We found one, and the equipment. |
 |
You can't raise a tree without the proper number of dogs. Two others were wandering around the perimeter, with yet another standing by across the street. |
 |
A barefoot guy from West By-God Virginia is always useful in these ventures. |
 |
The women stand far away from the action. They're not stupid.... |
 |
The finished product. A tree that's almost as straight as it was before the hurricane. |
 |
The proper response to this sort of action is a cul-de-sac party. It takes about three calls to the pizza guy to convince him that he really should deliver "to the middle of the cul-de-sac." |
 |
Ken tries to explain something to us. |
 |
Lisa tries to understand. |
 |
Some dogs were just overwhelmed by the excitement and tried to sleep through it all. |
 |
Does this dog look drunk to you? He was. If a dog drinks enough water he gets as messy as a person who drinks too much. |
 |
How does a dog drink that much? He decides that lawn sprinklers are the enemy, and attacks them. |
 |
To kill a sprinkler you apparently need to drink all the water that comes out of it.... |
