When I moved into this tin can there was a tree between my trailer and the one
just north of me that had two trunks which were split almost to the ground. It
looked pretty hazardous to me and we do get some high winds from time to time.
So, I asked the park managers about getting the tree removed and got no where
at all. Then I hit upon the plan of including a letter to an attorney about the
tree and the liability situation the park would be in if the tree came down and
took out the front of my joint and squished the middle of Lance's crib. At the
bottom I noted "cc: Forrest Park Terrace Manager". 

Of course I sent the rent cheque, with the letter attached, to the main office
of the company which owns the trailer court - not to the manager who was
ignoring me. Came home one day from work and the tree was gone. Disappeared,
not in existence. And I never did waste a stamp sending the original of the
letter to the lawyer involved.  Bv)=
