All Bark, No Bite

Take a look at the odd bark here. Is this tree cracking up? Is it an oak that has torn its sycamore disguise? Is this what happens when too many dogs mark their territory?

What is up with that trunk?!

like a palm tree. I had one once that was about 50 feet tall. It had one branch that caused the tree to lean and I was afraid it would fall on a shed I'd built. So, I got on the roof with a tree saw and cut the branch which proceeded to fall onto the shed destroying it. That was my best stupid husband story.; June 2, 2011 at 6:57 AM

I chatted with Willie and he said that he would sing, "Georgia" to me. After shooting had ceased for the night he got back up on the stage and sure enough sang "Georgia." Thanks for the memories.; June 2, 2011 at 11:17 PM
