About 15 years ago I got on the 'Net so that I could be on the original ISA discussion forum. My first post went up about three weeks after the Tree Climbers forum started. As I was reading I found a guy who had a really interesting writing style. His 'voice' was much different than the rest of us. He also had a message that caught my ear. We bantered back and forth on the forum, then off-line then met at TCI Expo. His real voice was the same as I read/heard on the forum. Riggs and I have been buddies since. We disagree on some minor points...but that's fine.
I think that some of the original ISA Forums can still be found on the "Way Back Machine" It's interesting to see how many topics that were being thrashed then have continued to be perpetual topics. One-handing discussions will never end...

They seem a bit bemused that one can descend from the trees and intellectualize, until I remind them that according to that smart guy Darwin our entire species did just that.

I get a lot of that around here as well. People have a hard time understanding that someone would actually go to school and choose to do this work. I guess I don't know why you would want to sit behind a desk all day though.

When I hit the deck after a long, hard, climb, I'm pretty much incoherent, which worries me a bit, as that's when the homeowner likes to congratulate/thank/reprimand you.
I find, all I can offer as means of a reply are slurry grunts of acknowlegement. This can't help our image.
Plus, for uk residents, there is a tree worker in the big brother house. I've not seen it but I hope he's got more'n wood under his helmet...

Chimpy,
Are you Welsh? I notice you live in Swansea. If you are I may have have valuable insight into your reaction when confronted by the homeowner.

It's like this , I love these two words when put together
" Situational Awareness " If you are using a chainsaw and don't have this , put it down , go home .
