   Beautiful work for a stop-gap. Let’s hope someone preserves it. A local carver here sculpted a lightning-struck hackberry tree. When it began to rot, the city paid him to cast it in bronze.

     That is very cool. My town is having a fight over the “Raccoon Lodge”, which doesn’t meet codes. Figures that the raccoons didn’t listen. https://www.ptleader.com/stories/raccoon-lodge-residents-flood-city-with-comments-support-for-artwork,96533?

       Maybe if the city had paid $50,000 to commission the Raccoon Lodge, they’d appreciate it as art. My favorite comment was the last one, which was basically, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” It literally said, “It’s all fun and games until…”

         Tempest in a teapot. I like the raccoon lodge. It was sad when the tree was cut down. There is a giant willow in town that has had two huge branches fall across the street, but it has not been cut down. Bit confusing, but I am not a tree surgeon.
