This morning, as I was lying in my bed resisting the hour of waking up, I heard a small gas powered device roar to life just outside my window. I was annoyed by the sound at first, until I rolled over and looked out the window to see a man scaling the palm tree with a chainsaw (on and running) hanging from his belt, or harness or whatever.
Let me reiterate. While I was lying in bed hitting the snooze button, a man was scaling the trunk of a very tall palm tree with a chain saw dangling off his waist so that he could cut the dead palm fronds off where they overlapped a power line. Do you think he gets hazard pay? I don’t.
Naturally, after that, continued laziness was pretty much out of the question.
