The truck brought it in on its side late at night and left it to be erected in the morning.
.
Two very drunken friends of mine went out and quietly sawed off the top 6-8 feet
of the tree so they would have one.
.
They would have gotten away with it, but they dragged the tree throough thw snow,
leaving a 3-ft wide trail of very thick pine needles all the way from the tree THROUGH
their front door.
