Tree fall

A tree fell last night on the house that Josh is renting. The tree was a victim of the Snowlocaust, which had trees down and traffic utterly snarled throughout the DC / Northern Virginia area; one of Josh's professors posted that it had taken eight hours to drive ten miles, and the news reported some people took up to thirteen hours trying to get home. The tree did no structural damage, just scraped some siding off, and no one was hurt. However, Josh had been playing a first person shooter at the time, and "Monster front! bang bang bang Monster behind! bang bang Monster front! bang bang", when abruptly supplemented by the BANG of the tree hitting, had his heart rate jump to 200 beats per minute...

He's young. The excitement will be good for him. It might cause you or I a coronary, but he'll just shrug it off.

Queensland is getting socked by another Cyclone as I write this with a second arriving apparently Thursday. Those poor people probably wish they had a break for the better...
