March 12 Re-Cap
Supper Show aside March 12 2008, will forever go down as the day the wrong thing happened in a cruel and incompetent manner and left an eternal and visual reminder of the ugly stupidness.
About 3 hours before the Supper Show one of my idiot neighbors hired a incompetent, hate-full and utterly stupid crew of greedy hacks to top 3 large cedar trees on our block. Now perhaps i could be considered one of those "Fucking Loon tree-huggers" you hear about from time to time, and if you were stupid and ignorant you could see that as an infringement on your human rights (the right to make $1000 in about an hour climbing up a tree with a chain-saw, or the right to be paranoid about a tree falling on your house and your ability to make your wrong choice in dealing with that fear that oddly enough will increase the likelihood of that tree falling on your house).
lets go to the situation, then to the optimal solutions, then to what happened, and then finally to how a human can no longer exist on his block under the presence of this nasty mammoth beacon of stupidity.
Guy worries about his neighbors trees being blown over on his house in a windstorm. Now this could happen, but I happen to have a certain "thing" about this man vs nature battle in where man beats nature but loses by robbing himself of majestic diversity.
I think he met the swine that did the job and the swine got him paranoid.
He told me about it before it was going to happen as we got talking about trees, i told CT who went into scientist mode and figured out the best solution... But his guy was giving him a deal (insert long swearing frenzy here).
CT makes good decisions.
When she was pregnant with the twins they tried to book her for a C section saying there was no way... that is just not done anymore... the usual bullshit. She had to fight like a tiger and in the end there was only 2 doctors in B.C. who would even attempt a natural birth. One was on the Island and one was here in Vancouver and the deal was that she had to be induced while that doctor was on call because if she went into labor and another doctor was on call it would be an automatic C section... no questions asked none answered. All went well of course except for the illegal epidural that was forcefully administered after reassurances that they would not force that... which i should mention almost screwed thing up.
After the birth the 11 member birth team thanked CT for allowing them to witness something that is never allowed to be done.
They play the fear card "oh you wouldn't want something to happen to the baby would you... we had better split you gut open in a hospital that has proven high concentrations of "C difficule" and other "super-bugs"
Is this still the Super Robertson Supper Show Blog?
somewhere along the line there are good decisions and there are bad decisions and there are the people who have to live with those decisions, and those who will remember and recall all things said and done ... like that pudgy hate faced asshole who saw me come out of my house and immediately put his hand up and shouted "we are not going to hurt the tree, just taking a bit off the top"
The solution of course would be to really assess the problem (will tree fall on house) and either take it down an replace it with an appropriate tree or brace it, or do what they call a "spiral cut" where you thin the tree from within it so that more wind can pass through it. the thing not to do is to top it. Search tree topping on the internet if you give a shit and you will perhaps see why this represents the death of all hope on the block where i have chosen to raise my family. where i use to see 5 majestic tree tops i now see 2 and 3 brutally savaged trees that are still big enough to wreck a house.
So that's way i was a bit weird at the Supper Show that evening... my brain just kept going over the failure again and again and again... well if i ever need to be reminded of the fucking stupidity i can just look out my window.
Juniper Watters opened the show... she was great
this is a nice piece that our new drummer Chris Banting came up with... I have titled it Banting Tree.
There was also a spelling b (sorry to Pete who would have much rather sat in his chair an enjoyed other's pain... and shame on Mule for not challenging)... speaking of that i came inches from calling Mule up on stage to ask the questions in "Hey Rock's living room".. but i had no confidance due to the tree fiacso... i guess while we are on it i should say Kudos to WB for taking the reins and nailing Heidi Stopover and bringing the group back together in a time of crisis.
More to come
