Trees are not always our friends - July 22, 2013

It seems like every day now we get rain - sometimes just a little drizzle but usually a hard, fast rain that drenches us for a few minutes and then it's gone.  That may be making some tree limbs too heavy because after the rain there are always a few limbs down.  Usually they are small ones but today a big dead one dropped like a stone on a site where some friends are parked.  Fortunately the only casualties were a scratched and dented car and a bicycle, but the bike was a mess - absolutely totaled.  
The poor bike seat looks like it has a broken neck, and the back wheel is twisted right off the frame!
It might be a good idea to not walk under trees around here, right after a rain.
