What a horrible day! Glad it’s worked out for you. Perhaps this was karma to show you that a few gnomes in another yard are really no biggie. ---

Look at it this way. Everything led up to you having the car sitting where it was stationary at the time the kid flew onto your hood. It saved him from serious injury, and the driver was caught. It sounds like everything coming together to help that kid. ---

You,anti- arborists, you–this is about that poor, innocent fir tree who never wanted to be a Christmas tree, but when Fate decreed otherwise, acquiesced with good grace and this is the thanks it got. Have you ice cold sap in your xylem? O! The gymnosperms! ---

Have you ice cold sap in your xylem? O! The gymnosperms! Sometime, somehow, I will find a way to add this to a conversation during Christmas. And **chowder** I’m very glad to hear that everything’s worked out and the guilty parties have been found! Good ending to a horrid day’s tale. ---
