    Apparently the Kite-Eating Tree is now varying its diet.

    Lio got there one day before the “Bite worse than his bark ” warning sign.

    Guess Lio won’t have to worry about being a ‘swinger’ when he’s an adult, eh?

    I think that tree bit off more than it can chew. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Lio selling firewood tomorrow.

    Ah. The Taking Tree, a little-known and generally-unreferenced book by Shel Silverstein.

    Ahh, the memories… Talking trees, a wicked witch, a kid meeting colorful new friends… Yes, “H.R. Pufnstuf” is truly a classic for the ages.

    Garey, I think he’s working traffic out on the Bree bypass. Too many Dwatves going much too fast.
