Friday morning, I took a different route to work. Had I not, I would have run into the Big Ass Tree™ sooner, rather than later.

The Big Ass Tree™ did some damage to a few power lines and completely blocked the road. While photographing, I hung out for a while, hoping some dumbass would come flying down the road and crash into the tree because they were talking on a cell phone, reading the newspaper, and eating a dozen Krispy Kreme® doughnuts. Much to my annoyance, everyone managed to stop well short of the tree.

In related news, Cap’n Ken and Coffee Achiever have a slightly more interesting Big Ass Tree™ story.
