If Obama had a tree trimmer, he’d look like Roberto.

That does it. No more pending tests for me.

Trees kill. We must cut them all down. Apologies to Rush (the band, not Limbaugh).

While this type of accident is not necessarily common, it happens regularly in the southwest where palm trees grow abundantly and need regular trimming. The trimmer usually climbs the tree with “spikes” on their shoes/boots with a chain saw in hand. If the trimmed skirt of old palm fronds being trimmed off comes loose, it can crush the worker. Sometimes it is a helper on the ground who is buried. These shirts can weigh as much as 1,000-2,000 pounds. They will crush a man easily. I know of three instances of this happening in the Phoenix metropolitan area alone in the last few years where the trimmers were killed. Palm tree trimming, without using the proper equipment, is a very dangerous job.

If he was doing it for profit, I’d bet he was unlicenced. Just wait until his family and pals get a lawyer to sue for everything off whoever hired him.
