PennDOT is resurfacing my street. If their fire-and-brimstone-belching monstrosity hurts my tree in any way, including harming the root system somehow with their super-slow-mo heat application as they inch along the curbline, there will be Hades to pay.

P.S. YUCK. The whole house smells like smoke from this thing. I hope they finish flame-broiling the asphalt soon and go away.
