The dark mutterings of a former mild-mannered reporter for a large metropolitan daily newspaper, now living in obscurity in central Indiana.

Timberrrrrrrr!
A worker for Dail's Tree Service drops the last and biggest segment of the dead oak tree in our front yard this morning.
Our neighbors are having some trees cleared to make way for a garage/shop structure and the tree service guys asked them to let all of us in the neighborhood know that they will be glad to do tree work for us while they're here.
So I jumped on the chance to get rid of the big poison ivy-covered oak tree that has been shedding limbs and menacing our house every time we have a strong wind.
They're charging us $300 to cut the tree, haul it away and grind the stump. Compared with what the tree service charged the town of Thorntown to take down three big maple trees next to our house a few years ago, that's a helluva good deal.
