The Green Man
The BBC reports on a pleasing interlude in the well-forested state of Maine:
A man in America has been arrested for obstructing traffic after crossing the road dressed as a tree.
Asher Woodworth, from the US state of Maine, covered himself in branches and walked really slowly across a street.
Ok so he slowed traffic a little, but he probably brightened up a lot of people’s day in the process.
Police in Portland arrested this tree for blocking traffic this afternoon. For real. @WCSH6 @WLBZ2 pic.twitter.com/molDocnKu7

You can see people grinning in the video – including one of the cops. Day brightened.
Frankly I hope it catches on. Beats scary clowns any day.
And maybe make somebody notice something besides big furry animals for a change.
Maybe he was just trying out a Halloween costume as an Ent.
Or maybe his inner invisible reality is Tree.
Why blur his face, then give us a nice profile at the end? I wonder if this was some kind of very subtle eco protest? Made me grin.
I’m not sure how benign this is. Triffids make me nervous!
Ha!
The Stanford Band…at it again.
