What happened to me today? Besides learning about the July 7th tragedy through today's edition of the S.F. Chronicle, while I stepped on this computer to check my e-mail, the big tree in the backyard of my co-op house fell. With a huge thud. Me & my housemates from different floors rushed out to the 2nd floor back patio to see the fallen tree. It landed on top of the hot tub, an electrical outlet, the neighbour's fence & some lawn furniture in our yard's 1st floor back patio. Peta [1 of my housemates] whipped out her camera & took pics of the fallen tree. Kenji [other housemate] is contacting a tree removal company to send some dudes to remove the fallen tree, piece by sawed-off piece. The tree's inner trunk was rotten, termite-devoured, thereby causing it to fall unexpectedly. I'm not going to forget this anytime soon.
