Man Climbs a Tree, Shuts Down Seattle Streets for a Day
23rd March 2016
Despite many hours of police coaxing, he remained near the top of an 80-foot tall sequoia tree in downtown Seattle early Wednesday, refusing to come down.
CBS affiliate KIRO reports that after 17 hours of the incident, downtown Seattle streets remain closed as officials struggle for a solution to get him out of there.
Who cares? Is that against the law? Was he bothering people?
I must agree with the sign-makers. Leave him alone, for crying out loud.

There’s a great parallel to this: the infamous “cat stuck up in a tree”.
I’ve actually seen people in a panic because their little kitty is stuck up in a tree. That includes my ex. “Should we call the fire department?”, etc.
As I pointed out to my ex, “Have you ever seen a cat skeleton up in a tree?”. No. Well then stop worrying. When the damn cat gets hungry, she’ll figure a way down.
Every. Single. Time.
Guy climbed a tree. BFD. When he gets hungry….
