Got home about 10:30 A.M and proceeded to get one of my students, (who we will call Snoopy) up on the roof to trim the huge Pine tree in front of the house. Its something thats been needed for a long while. I had aquired a pole trimmer (chainsaw on the end of a pole) that I have dubbed my “light saber” and the kid spent an amazing 5 hours trimming the low branches away from the house.
Snoopy trimming the tree. 
By 5 o’clock the deed was done. I drove Snoopy home with $50 in his hot and somewhat grubby hands. I was tired and pretty grubby myself but was pretty resolute about heading out to the Daily Planet for a “last call” as word had filtered through the grapevine that this fixture of the Tower district was closing its doors after 25 years.
On my way home for a much needed shower I even stopped at Scary Squirrel Man’s abode to arrange to share a final moment of fellowship at the Planet.
