Hot Pot City Again

Out of the blue, I got a call from Seth this morning. He was meeting some of
his friends at Hot Pot City; did I want to come along? Well...sure. It's not
often that I get to have hotpot. So I got up, moseyed on down to the local
barbershop to get my hair cut (it'd look hot if I ever bothered to comb it)
and went downtown to meet them for lunch. While we were eating, a tree
trimming crew pulled up right in front of the restaurant and began paring the
trees. We thought it was routine maintenance until we saw a big curtain of
sawdust followed by a loud THUD as a big old piece of tree hit the ground just
feet from the window. The gardeners kept going at larger and larger pieces of
wood until finally a seriously large piece of wood came hurtling off the tree
... straight into their ladder, knocking it over. After we stopped laughing at
them, they picked up their tools, got back in their truck and drove away.
