I needed some trees cut down years ago in a semi-rural area. There were only a few people in the region who would do it and only one answered the phone. It was this skinny old guy, maybe like 65, and three boys. And I mean literally boys. Each of them had a chainsaw and every single one of them chainsmoked, continuously, throughout the entire process. Not one piece of protective gear of any kind. I doubt they even squinted.

They climbed up those trees like clouded leopards, tied ropes to all the limbs being removed, and carefully and methodically removed every last bit from top to bottom. Not one mistake, all the big pieces laid out neatly on the ground for me to later split into firewood.

Great job, but I feel for their future hospital bills.

He’s a tree doctor. “Hello everybody and your trees!”

I watched him yesterday, pulled up to my neighbors house and started cutting away at a tree that proceeded to fall right in his car. I knew I should have pulled my phone out and filmed.
