Tragedy avoided

A few nights ago about 10:30 at night  very large pine tree in my yard fell over. It made a very loud crash and shook the ground.
Now while this may seem like a serious thing to someone like my friend Stephen who would be wondering if it hit the house or the camper or the garage or the truck etc. along with concern of it's removal.  It was not so in my case, you see it fell into the street....completely blocking the road, cars had to turn around and go another route. So about 11:00 PM I saw a police car with flashing lights out at the road guarding the scene to stop someone from hitting the downed tree which was fine with me as I was in bed.
 At about 1:00 in the morning I awoke to the sound of chainsaws and trucks and the police was still there with lights on as they worked into the night.
At daylight when I went out the tree was all cut up out of the road and hauled off so I sat on the porch and drank my coffee without concern of tree removal.
Lesson learned, Next time a tree falls in your yard just drag it out in the street.
  The moral of the story is if you live right and treat people right good things happen in return, I hope Stephen is paying attention.
