Thank you all . It is bad enough I have to wear a helmet on my bicycle. Not planning to wear one on every walk in the neighborhood .

My late wife once looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a tree crash down on the car behind her.

Exercise may be dangerous for your life. We went on one of our usual walks around Rancho Park. It was somewhat windy and Nancy’s hat blew off along Pico boulevard. She put it back on and we talked for another few seconds: suddenly a loud cracking and SLAM this dead tree landed about 20 feet from where we stood. A few steps more and we would have been dead meat or at least had a hole in the head .
Yikes!! I’m glad both of you are okay. Someone was looking out for both of you.

A tree fell on our travel trailer, parked in a park, last summer. My wife was inside, 2 foot diameter branch missed her by inches, crushed the fold down bed and canvas roof behind her. Other branches pierced the roof. Trailer was totaled. There was no wind, nothing, just an old, dead cottonwood tree whose time it was to fall down.

Same thing happened to me once. Stopped to talk two minutes. Rounded a curve. Huge branch down. They said it had just fallen two minutes previously🤮🥶😱

I know little about gardening, my wife has the golden hand that produces tomatoes, figs and several kinds of oranges.

We can enlarge on the wisdom of Johny Cash He sang in one of his songs "I learned this fact from a logger named Ray, you don't cut timber on a windy day Stay out of the woods when the moisture's low or you aint gonna live to collect our dough"
