The lamppost in front of my house already has seen a lot in its life. It has been hit by cars and trucks at least twice, and then of course there are the many ugly politician faces on election posters that disfigure its pretty face every few years. The latest accident happened this morning when the Christmas tree for our village square was delivered. Unfortunately, it was a little too wide for the road and extended over the edge of the truck’s bed. The poor lamppost got its head shaved off by the tree, with a rather unpleasant sound, but it’s best if you hear it for yourself.
