on how to get these freakin' balloons out of a 75 foot tree.

I was wondering what the dogs were barking at out the front bay
window.

Now I know.

And I want them gone.



Use The Force, Luke. Or in this case, let the next Nor'Easter take care
of it. With any luck, maybe they'll blow into the trees of the Putz that
let them loose in the first place.

Other solutions with much more entertainment value for the observer:
Low-flying plane with a tailhook.
George Jetson-style strap-on jet pack (don't forget your helmet).
Two words: Flubber shoes.
If you're out of Flubber, a very large trampoline (still thinking the
helmet is a good idea).
Make significant donation to local Catholic church. Ask to borrow Flying
Nun for about an hour.

Any of the above should be complimented with a ground-based video crew to
maximize aforementioned entertainment value.



During a visit to our former house in Florida, one of the grandkids was
flying a kite out in one of the horse pastures and it ended up getting
caught high in a pine tree.

Three hurricanes later, it was still there.

A few years ago I saw a dead seagull entangled in fishing line half way
up a very large Linden tree just over my property line on the
neighbour's side.

I called the different gov't departments but didn't get much help so I
just let it go.
After a season the remains disappeared... probably eaten by the local crows.
