A long time ago, before building our house on our property, I had to take down a GIANT oak tree near the road that was located where the driveway was going. The tree had to be 2-1/2 feet in diameter. It seemed to be leaning just slightly north (the right way), so I was sure it would fall that way. Just to make sure, I tied a large bull rope as high on the trunk as I could and secured it to another tree. Ha. Then I started cutting. And wouldn't you know, the bull rope got tighter, and tighter, and tighter, and...TIMBERRRR...the tree fell SOUTH, opposite of the way I wanted. Across the road it went, taking our my neighbor's yard gas light and brushing his house. Luckily, I knew a few guys on the township highway crew, so they came over with chainsaws and SAVED ME. How I thought that bull rope was ever going to make a difference amazes even me! Dumb. David
