Six acres of trees, pond, creek, and land + remnant storm of Hurricane Ida = Lots of work! Seriously, I was very fortunate that the huge tree which broke in half did not hit my house or vehicles.
Last Wednesday night the tailend of Ida blew apart a tree in my front yard. My wonderful cousins T., M., and J (and others) have been coming over and helping with my place recently. Well, on Saturday T/M/J came over and M. used the chainsaw to cut up logs. J and myself hauled limbs, raked sticks, and split the oak into firewood.
We started around 9 or 10am and worked until 2:30pm I think. Wow! A few hours of physical labor is a great workout! And I got something accomplished.

In Steven Pressfield's book Gates of Fire, the term "akoniti" was used when an opponent was defeated so thoroughly and quickly that literally "no dust" was raised in the ring.
