My 91-year-old grandfather was working in his yard in Crockett, Texas, last week when a tree fell over on him. It just snapped up by the roots and fell over as my grandfather tried – unsuccessfully – to outrun it.
Don't worry, he's OK. He's always OK. My father says it will be kryptonite that finally takes him out.
