\"The<\/a>

The culprit palm<\/p><\/div>No, not the palm of the hand; the royal palm.<\/p>\n

This morning, while having my second cup of coffee, I was startled by a loud BANG! My first thought was that a bird flew into the side of the RV. But when I stepped out to look, I saw no dead bird. Or anything else near the side of the RV.<\/p>\n

But… there, between the car and the truck, lay a large frond (branch?) from one of the royal palms near the sidewalk. I hoped that the noise was due to the frond dropping onto the truck’s tonneau cover which is pretty close to dent-proof. No such luck. A quick inspection of the car revealed a very noticeable dent in the roof. Better than a dent on the hood, I guess, because I don’t have to look at the roof while driving. But not good. I am considering whether to file a claim. Probably not as it is pretty minor. But I may get an estimate, just to know what I am dealing with.<\/p>\n

The truck is heading north in 3 days. The palm couldn’t wait until then to shed?<\/p>\n
