OT - Loss of Old Friend

Sad to report that the old red oak in St. Joe is no more. This landmark tree along Highway 65 has served the community for many generations but was severely damaged by the recent ice storm and had to be brought down before it fell on highway. Hate to see this old friend finally succumb to the rigors of life....

Awful tempting here, John, to inquire if you are sure you may not be a relative.... seeing how you are such a nut.... but I will restrain.

When I was in Bolixi, the palm trees that were killed by storms had all the limbs and splinter parts removed. They had carved animals and fish out of the trunks. The tree at ST. Joe could have had that done to it. If there was enough left to it.

As we drove thru part of St Joe last weekend, Richard wondered aloud to me where this tree was. Can you refresh our old memories? Before or after the old abandoned stores? I kinda think it was on up by the newer store/gas station... but not sure.

Could it have been the cedar near the new post office.
