That was fun! Power went out here at 4:12 a.m. and stayed out for just over 7 hours.

On the plus side, I got to watch a couple of tree workers cut down a very tall dead evergreen tree in the next block. They cut off the branches from bottom to near the top, lowering the bigger ones on ropes and dropping the smaller ones. Then they cut off the tops, with a few small branches left, by tying them up then making two cuts then pushing. Then they repeat that process all the way back down the tree.

One of the two on this job is a woman. I’m impressed.
