Friday

currently i'm uploading a video of bro in-law paul cutting down a branch in our backyard. with a chainsaw. on an aluminum ladder. over a power line. at our house. it's dangerous, and i warn you, lauren, you may not want to watch.

don't worry, he doesn't get hurt. no, he almost got severely hurt cutting down the limb prior to this video recording. that's when he cut the branch his ladder was leaning on a little too close to the ladder. i'll let him tell you about that one.

watch the power line. the dialogue goes like this:

paul: i'll wait till you've moved all the way out of the way.
tom: thank you.

tom: wait, which one are you doing? where's the dog?
paul: ready, tom?
tom: yeah.

paul fires up the chainsaw...

leah: oh my goodness. oh my.
paul: hey the lights are still on.

like it was said at the beginning of this whole adventure: never climb trees near overhead lines.


this is all really good advice. for more safety tips, go to http://www.kcplkids.com/bb_2007winners.htm

Shaul's big screen debut ... right when I was wondering why I would need a screen name. As Leah mentioned, we only captured the second best moment of that day on video, as the half-branch that my ladder ended up leaning against was a miracle that we could have caught on tape. I didn't scream or nothin'.
