Glad you're ok! Must have been scary.
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

HOLY CARP!!!
Good thing no one was hurt in the making of those photos. :smile:
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

Turned out, it looks worse than it was. Only one broken shingle. Didn't even damage the trim or siding. Took me 30 minutes to fix it.

Wait till Plays gets my bill. :devilgrin:
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

Glad no one was hurt and surprised your house is so stout. The trunk looked pretty solid - was it particularly windy at the time?

No wind Kincaid. We've had a lot of rain lately (last night in fact) and the ground was soft. Most of the branches were on my side of the tree, which made it heavy to that side. Plus it actually leaned in the direction it ultimately fell. The saving grace was that it was so close to our house, it never got any momentum as it fell, which is why the damage was minimal.

Just one of those things. Dookey happens.
