cut the tape: I was on Oahu when hurricane Ewa hit. It blew huge Iron wood trees across one of our roads. The road wasn’t getting cleared and apparently I was the only guy on the island with a chain saw powerful enough to hack thru the trunks. I didn’t ask anybody. Just gassed up the Big Guy and sawed up the iron woods. Then I told the county road guy all he needed to do was push the logs out of the way. Next day the road was open. A few months later I got a “good guy” letter from the mayor.
Sometimes you just don’t stop to ask permission.
You were a Man of Action when it mattered.
At least no Government person tried to penalize you for doing their work for them and exposing their ineptitude.
They can be petty about such things.
Yup.
