This Tulip Poplar tree that was cut down was just 20 feet or so from Monticello. If they had done it wrong, it could have squashed the whole building.

Janey's picture looks like a sculpture of a fish eating a snake. It reminds me of this snake sculpture in a park outside the Zoo in Rio de Janeiro. I didn't have time to go around the pond to get a better picture, since we had to catch the subway back to the hotel, to catch a cab to the airport. Even though our flight was scheduled to board at 8:30P.M. and it was not quite 4:00 P.M. we were already cutting it close.

No, Jim had nothing to do with this. I met Dale, when I toured on my bike in Florida in January. :)

He claims that it followed him home...this 1940's walk behind tractor and all it's attachments, mower, tiller, plow, snow blower, even a sulky to ride if needed. You would think he found a goldmine. A few hundred bucks and 5000 hours of elbow grease should have it in top shape.
