And The Winner Is . . .

Surprisingly - it was the Tree that won this bout of machine vs. nature. Why surprising? Because these Monkeypod trees have lousy root systems and will fall over if someone sneezes too hard (I'm thinking of my former landlady whose sneezes famously echoed throughout the entire neighborhood. "What was that?" strangers to the area would ask. "Oh, that was just Rita. Her allergies must be acting up again.").
