hanging scars and trees

Today I finally saw Hang 'Em High, so now I know where Clint Eastwood's character got that hanging scar. I don't remember my parents watching a lot of tv when I was little, but I remember asking about that scar when I was way too young to have any idea what was going on in the movie.

In other news, I think we have mistletoe in one of the trees in the front yard. It says here that you can cut it back every so often, but you won't get the roots unless you cut up the tree it's living in. That sounds like a lot of work, and it apparently doesn't kill the tree too fast, so I guess that tree is just going to have some character.
