....in my backyard, anyway.
I don't have a chainsaw, but I have some pruning loppers, which will take care of small branches, about 1" or less. I started cutting.
I made a path to the back gate, so the prospect of Lizbit's door-locking trick will be less terrifying. I also cut off branches and twigs that were sticking off bigger branches in the path of where the dogs tend to chase each other. I made nine big piles of former tree bits so far. According to the city, I have to tie up smaller bundles with a maximum length of 4 ft. and carry them to the curb for eventual pickup. I didn't make that many bundles all last summer.
I haven't made a dent in what's yet to be done, but I think I can have the yard tidied up by next August. We are supposed to have snow tomorrow, but I intend to keep it away with the heat of my white-hot glare of righteousness.
Pruning and sawing will be added to my President's Challenge points.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
