Soooo many questions I want to ask. (Look closer. Much closer.)
Hey Fella, Where Ya Headed?
Written by Christopher Null on January 31st, 2017Day 19
Written by Christopher Null on January 27th, 2017Alas, the tree is gone, chopped up and put in the very compost bin that once stood as its impromptu tree stand. We thank you for your service, and look forward to another slow death in 2018.
Signing off!
Day 15
Written by Christopher Null on January 23rd, 2017
Now shit’s getting real. Yes, that is a tree jammed into a compost bin, passed over for a third time by the disposal company.
(And yes, this is a different tree further up the street. Tree #2 vanished in the night. This one’s the last holdout.)
Day 12

How will it end?
Day 8
Written by Christopher Null on January 16th, 2017
Now it gets tense. The tree has officially been passed over for two consecutive garbage day pickups, and now the owner has to make a decision: Hope the garbage company takes it, wait for a good Samaritan to do the job, or actually deal with it. Meanwhile, it’s starting to turn fairly brown. We’ll be watching!
Day 6
Written by Christopher Null on January 14th, 2017A whole row of trees (including the one I’d had my eye on) abruptly vanished this afternoon. Good news: A tree around the corner is still lingering, and will become our new specimen.
Scraggly on the base but largely intact — and more importantly, taking up a parking space.
Day 3
Written by Christopher Null on January 11th, 2017
The trashcans are gone, but the tree remains. A little worse for wear due to the heavy rain and wind, but still hanging in there.
‘Tis the Season
Written by Christopher Null on January 9th, 2017Neighbors missed the memo that last week was Christmas tree pickup, and the trash company makes zero exceptions.
The battle of wills starts today.
Happy New Year!

Spoiler Alert
Written by Christopher Null on March 25th, 2016My Fast Food Mashup: The Chick-N-Out
Written by Christopher Null on March 5th, 2016It came to me in a dream. What if you took a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and an In-N-Out burger and put them together?
Today I made that dream a reality, taking one In-N-Out cheeseburger (animal style) and one Chick-Fil-A sandwich (extra pickles) and slapping them together. (Drop the bottom bun of the In-N-Out and the top bun of the Chick-Fil-A. Chicken goes on the bottom of the combined sandwich.)
Results: Incredibly delicious and probably extremely healthy, too. The Chick-N-Out (get it?) is one for the ages!
