Pretty tree!
There's our tree! I did a video this year. It's better, perhaps, than a simple picture which doesn't show the depth and beauty of the tree. Eh, whatever. It's dark. If anyone out there is thinking about buying a new digital camera, allow me to recommend with hearty eagerness the Canon A570IS. It's a great camera with a lens and sensor which matches well, performs excellently, and perhaps best of all, had excellent video recording capabilities. Like, you'll leave your camcorder at home. At the bottom of your junk drawer. Two people i know have bought this camera on my recommendation, and they love it. It has a really cool face lock-on feature. Plus, it's fairly cheap, in its class.
Okay, so today i raked leaves because the waste transfer facility near to us is closed, so we can't throw the shingles away like i was planning. The leaves didn't melt or anything, like i was pretty sure they were going to. So i had to actually rake them into a pile. I raked the pile onto a big tarp and dragged across the street. There's a crash barrier and a wooded drop off across the street from my house. It's great for dumping leaves, but might not be as legal as, say, dumping leaves at a designated leaf dumping site. But i'll tell you what's even more criminal than tossing a leaf or two into the woods: dumping murder victims. I don't know if you realize this, but if you get a couple hundred pounds worth of leaves into a tarp and try to pull the tarp over a metal crash barrier, the leaves roll up and compact into a shape extraordinarily like a body wrapped in a tarp. They even thump onto the ground just like you'd imagine a body would. Yikes.
Soooo, what happened to the “charlie brown tree” tradition? That looks way too …symmetrical and needle-y and, well, nice too be a charlie brown tree. I’m so disappointed.
