as i made fun of a friend who is stuck in new york, the wind blew down my neighbor’s rather large tree a few inches from the window. while i heard the cracking and snap, it took me a moment to look over and see the actual fall.
i grabbed my computer and threw it into another chair that seemed to be a safe distance away from where the tree could hypothetically crash through my wall and onto me. i did not grab my cat.
my cat, also watching the tree falling towards us, did not move. she has since switched positions and continues to glare at me.
i assume this is how karma works as there are now a number of peruvian men outside taking chainsaws to the tree. especially with peruvian men and chainsaws.
