As we pass the halfway point in our spring season, my soccer team is sitting at the top of our table. This morning, we played the team currently in second place and beat them 3-0 in a game that we dominated from the start. We were missing several players, so I got more minutes than usual which was not ideal given air temperature in the low 80s and turf temperature in the mid 90s.

After a bit of grocery shopping, I returned home to process the team photo I took after the match. Suddenly, the whole house shook. I did not know what to think until I looked outside and observed a large branch partially submerged in the river. It felt like it hit the house on the way down, but I could find no evidence of damage to the house.

I should have started by reviewing our security camera footage. When I did, the entire sequence of events was captured. It is oddly entertaining.
