Studly Doright is making progress with his recovery from surgery on his sciatic nerve. He still isn’t sleeping well due to intense nerve pain, but he manages to push through somehow. He’s tough.
Saturday he joined his golf group for lunch where they regaled him with tales from their morning round. He misses golf almost as much as he misses his sleep.
Studly returned home at one, just as a thunderstorm rolled in. He and I both took a much needed nap while the storm raged outside. When he awakened Studly surprised me by asking if I wanted to go to a movie. Well, duh. I ALWAYS want to go to see a movie.
I’d already seen Solo, but Studly hadn’t, so we spent the afternoon in that galaxy far, far away. I enjoyed it more the second time than I did the first, and Studly gave it his seal of approval. Afterwards we enjoyed dinner at a Japanese steak house to round out the evening.
Before the film started, though, our neighbor texted me a picture of a tree that had fallen in our neighborhood. When we returned home we drove passed our home to take a look.

It’s hard to tell from this angle, but the tree fell on top of a trailer loaded with sod, narrowly missing the pickup truck that had been pulling the trailer. We aren’t sure if it was felled by lightning or if our oversaturated ground gave way. Such is life in the forest. Hopefully no one was injured.
Studly went to bed early, hoping to get some sleep. Fingers crossed.
Peace, people.
I’m pleased Studly could sit comfortably through the film. Fallen trees from saturated forest floors are quite familiar to us

There’s a leaning tree that straddles the property line between us and our neighbors to the east. We’ve been watching it for some time and after yesterday’s incident the menfolk are out there discussing its removal.

I literally just read in the paper earlier this morning about FPL’s program to get people to plant the right trees near power poles. Apparently too many Floridians are fond of planting trees that are incompatible with underground water table. The result is that when rain saturates the ground those trees fall easier.
