Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

Employment applications always ask whom to call in case of an emergency. I always say ‘an ambulance.’

Those are great. Really liked fail/win/fail. But I can compete with the “luckiest car owner.”
We had a 100+yo oak with two mighty forks that died last Spring. One fork fell and branches hit in front of and behind my truck, with just the tiniest little ding on the door. Also branches just inches away from a large window on the house. Lucky all around.
Not long after, the other fork broke and fell… again with branches in front of and behind my truck. A much more serious dent on the back door of the truck, but still enormously lucky. Came ‘way too close to “goose” above.

Hi, bob. We’ve been on the road; delayed my replying.
I managed to recall that I posted pictures and my inflated telling about the fall of the first half of the oak.
Besides a lot of greenery, you can see my then-hairy face, m’ li’l red truck, and a glimpse of our faithful doggeh! Had a good trip, but glad to be home with m’good boy.
