trees making sounds, 7.16.24

you know the old riddle that goes something like “if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?” though it’s a good riddle and i believe there’s no wrong answer, today as i’m walking bagel at ipswich, a tree (or a large branch) falls as we’re walking past it. talk about timing. i noticed something was moving in my peripheral, then when i caught on, it had fell to the ground and made a loud thump. i took my headphones off and looked around to see if anyone had seen it, or heard it, and nobody was around except for myself and bagel.

i still don’t know the answer to the riddle but talk about timing.
