Caveat: Tree #1669 “On edge”

A Daily Tree / Life in Alaska / My Photos

This tree was alarmed by an interloping excavator.

Richard, the excavatorer, seemed a bit on edge yesterday.

Richard does excellent work and is highly competent – he knows the “right way” to do things and works efficiently – but he is difficult to communicate with, because he has very strong opinions which he believes to be facts. Sometimes you just have to let him do it “his way” and adapt to what he’s done afterward, similar to dealing with natural disasters.
