Accidents do happen. Some lawyer will ‘f’ it up.

Why was a mom on a Boy Scout hike?

It's not for just boys anymore.

In the old Catholic demonologies, there was one devil who was tasked with breaking branches and trees right when they would fall on a person. Seriously, that was *all* he did.

Talk about a boring job.

As far as a low effort job, a different demon was tasked with persuading women to take off their clothes and dance naked in public. I imagine after a few thousand years, he became something like a *totally gay* Bob Fosse, directing yet another nude revival of “A Chorus Line” on Broadway.

The boys are probably safer that way.

Ask Gov. Abbott about the dangers of falling trees.

Tree hugging is not good when the tree hugs you.

In the olden days, 30 years ago, it was an all male outing but times, they change.

An adult leader in the council was killed sleeping in his tent when the wind came up and a tree blew over.

Stuff happens. What are the odds though?

No risk of them acting like boys, playing with knives, lighting fires, or ruining the meal they tried to cook. Always take mommy along.

Wow, what a horrible tragedy. Her poor son seeing his mom get hit, caught by the tree, and die. Just awful. I cannot imagine.

I couldn't understand the woman announcer's pronunciation of the trail name. The map shows the "Stephen E. Abbors Trail" which used to be the "PG&E Trail." I've hiked that many, many times (I'm sure you have, too). When did they rename it? I never look at the maps because I know all the trails there.

I hiked Coyote Hills today. What spectacular views after the rain and the snow still visible on the ridges above Sunol. I think I'm going to hike Sunol tomorrow and get up to the snow. Little Yosemite is closed due to storm damage.

I went on some of our daughter’s girl scout outings (I’m her dad) 30 years ago.

New Hampshire's tree hugging regulators are turning our roads into kill zones.

The keep the enviro freaks happy, loggers must hide their clear cuts from the road by not cutting a percentage of the trees within a certain number of feet from the road.

Now the wind can zip across clear cuts and hit the trees left full blast.

A lot of those trees are getting old and doing what old things do, becoming weak.

“Yeah. Coulda been worse.”
“Yep.”
