Typo.  I omitted a zero.  That should be 3,000 cm., not 300.  So, in feet,
the pine trees surrounding me are all over 100 feet tall.

I'm modest.  (-:

Only during hurricane season, where all in this area and along the eastern
and Gulf coast have to be prepared.

Repairing a damaged structure is serious work.

Nor I would you.  I'm alergic to cold weather and too old now to adapt to it.

We have lots of power failures here and not all are weather-related.  Some
repairmen came over to me the other day when I had reported to the office
about a fuse that kept popping from its contact (sounds just like a shotgun
blast) on the power line and disrupting power to the only neighbor I have
across the street.  They told me that it was either squirrels or snakes
coming in contact with the power line.  I had to wonder, when they said
that, if I had DUMB stamped across my forehead.

I sometimes wish I had one of those, but it's not a necessity in the
flatlands, unless one is planning to drive through an area where that would
be handy.

Roger
