Along Route 82 there is an evergreen tree that was planted in memory of a girl who died in a car accident. Every holiday season they decorate it with ribbons, bows, and even solar Christmas lights. This year is no different, and the holiday decorations appeared this week.
Nate sees the tree, all decorated, and asks me why there is a Christmas tree by the side of the road. He asks me what it's for, and having told him already on Friday, I tell him the short version of the story. I remind him that a girl was in a car accident there, and her family planted the tree there to remember her and to remind people to drive safe so they don't get into a car accident too.
Nate's reply?
"A Christmas tree for a car accident? That doesn't count."
