Another Oak Tree needed

[HoneyBadger]

A Waldorf teenager accused of murdering a D.C. cabbie last week now also has been charged with the St. Charles drive-by shooting last month that left a woman dead and her husband critically injured. Joshua Terrel Mebane, 17, was arrested near his home in Waldorf on Friday by officers from Charles County and Washington, D.C.

Teresa Ann Bass, 40 and her husband, 43, were walking their dog in the Hampshire Neighborhood in St. Charles on October 26. Bass died after being transported to Civista Medical Center. After the shooting incident a reward of $20,000 was assembled for any information.

Speaking of Oak trees, there was a big old tough Oak tree at the end of my street that obviously had been there for hundreds of years. The were three documented hangings from that tree. It was known around here as "The Lynching Tree".
A long, long time ago it was apparently struck by lightning and was almost split in two, but continued to live and bloom. I called it The Tree of Life, because it lived after being hammered by lightning.
Parts of it were hollow and some knucklehead from the city deemed it hazardous. They cut it down about a week ago
Sorry for the hijack, Andy.
