A Little Off the Top
Our Tree Got Trimmed
I do not know if anyone remembers, but the tree in front of our house was in desperate need of a trim. (See my post of May 15, 2005 Tree Trimming City, with John's stunning photograph.)
After over 3 months of calling the city I finally got the tree trimed!!!! The City sent someone out this week, and they trimmed the tree.
Actually, I called 3 times last week and the Parks Dept got fed up with me and finally just sent them.
Happy plugging everyone.

Follow up, follow up, follow up, it's almost as good as location, location, location!
If that isn't a Yogi Berraism, then it sure sounds like one.
Congrats, Ellen, you just proved an old adage that I made up:
Perserverance Pays Off!
You can't get things done by making one phone call, wiping your hands, patting yoursef on the back, and saying to yourself, "Well, that's taken care of."
You need to follow up, follow through, and stay consistently on message! Like you did.
Good work.
