My new neighbor is bold!
Last night we got out the 20 extension ladder and I climbed as far as I could up our palm tree to trim off dead fronds. If you don't know about the dangers of trimming palms, let me tell you that many people are killed and injured trimming palm trees. Anyway, we got most of our dead stuff cut, save for as little because the sawzall battery died. After seeing how nice the tree looked, our neighbor came over and asked to borrow our ladder so he could trim his palm trees tomorrow.
Fast forward to the next day, and I see a big pile of fronds in his driveway, and go over to tell him how good it looks, but when I get there, I notice something a bit funny. It doesn't hit me for a few minutes because I'm looking up, and it even took a bit to sink in after I followed the ladder down to the ground...or what he was using for the ground anyway.
You know, I used to think I was a daredevil, but no way in hell would I have attempted this fete
