re: #176 reine.de.tout

Here’s what I hate: The Roi will climb a tree with his chain saw attached to a rope - then he’ll brace himself somehow in the tree, and pull the chainsaw up to him and start cutting branches, sometimes with just one arm while his other arm grasps a branch. Drives me crazy. I’m convinced he will kill himself one day.

If I started using power tools regularly, this is exactly the kind of thing I’d end up doing. “I’m up here anyway, may as well try and get to this branch that’s just nearly out of reaAAAAAAAACGH.”

That’s why I stay away unless absolutely necessary. Fascinating to see the different levels of one’s consciousness at work.
