This robbery happened in New Jersey, where the gun laws are hard and unforgiving. Plus, postal workers have federal workplace weapon prohibitions, so the letter carrier is defenseless. It takes a lot of time, effort and expense to put those crooks away, with no revenue in return. Traffic enforcement, though, is a cash cow. Chiefs of police must practice their concerned expressions and voice for media appearances. If the carrier had successfully defended himself he would have been prosecuted for numerous violations for hurting the perpetrators. Check your local and state laws. Cops love to investigate and prosecute people who have a job, so they can collect dollars. Defending yourself may very well cause you more trouble than the robbers will ever have. Stand and Deliver!

Some Trees Are Resisting...

 but we are making good progress. I got out in the heat again today and burned a couple tanks of fuel in the little Stihl saw. Watch out for rubbery legs when you work in the heat. No new videos today, but I will shoot some more on Sunday.

More TSI Trees

 A cherry, then a cherrybark oak in the second video.

Thinning Choices

 Cutting trees you planted can be tough for anyone, but you make up your mind that it must be done. The easy part is taking down trees that have problems. Trees that are straight, unforked, with nice crowns can be a problem, though. Crown position is also important. These two trees are intermediates with sunlight only from above. The dominant and co-dominant trees around them are superior and faster growing. The intermediates slow growth on the better trees by impeding crown growth and by taking up root space. Look at your trees critically and be willing to cut well formed trees, too, when they are under-performing. Study that thumbnail photo. The slowdown on this tree began four seasons ago. These trees will make great firewood!

Check Those Tree Stands In Your Timber

 

We are brainwashed by public educators to think that trees are static. Nope, they grow, and they grow every year. You gotta loosen that belt at the end of every deer season.

Tough Black Cherry Tree

 Trees around the edge are always a wedging job. This black cherry had multiple tops and was tangled up with a couple of other trees. Got it down, though. I filed the saw after I was done cutting and was going to fire it up to check how it cut, and the primer bulb tore when I pushed on it. Oh Well, or words to that effect. I will use the old 272 XP tomorrow.

Enzo And New Mom
