STUMP REMOVAL by Andrew Graham Martin

STUMP REMOVAL by Andrew Graham Martin

I saw a sign for stump removal and found myself wishing I had a stump that needed removing.

Or, more exactly, I wished that should I ever have a stump that needed removing I’d see a sign like that one. 

Or, put yet another way, I wished that in my life I could see the things I need to see right when I need to see them. Not before, and not after.
