More Big Machines in the Neighborhood

About two months ago, a trunk of our neighbor's giant maple tree fell and crushed her garage. Luckily, only a few small branches hit our house. She was finally able to arrange for its removal last week. They brought a big crane down the street in front of her house and then swung it around back to get the tree out. Unfortunately, we had to go to work and missed all the excitement, but apparently there was some repelling involved.
