It seems that everyone in the universe knows that a much more common way to hang a hammock is to tie some rope or something around a tree and hang it. I say this because more people than I would like to admit have responded to my story about the hammock, baffled, wondering why I didn't just tie it to the tree. To which I say - the directions said drill a hole!
Also I have been reminded of the hammock hanger invention. Yes, thank you, I actually did know about those but I'm cheap and it's much more cost-effective to go about destroying Mother Nature. Actually the real reason is that I don't want one of those because we get 80 mph winds here and I was hoping to have something that I would not have to worry about catching a gust of wind and crashing through my neighbors windows in the middle of the night.
Strangely, my husband is less concerned with the hole in the tree and more amazed that I found the drill and knew how to operate it. Come on people. He must be amazed that I managed to survive 27 years without him around to teach me how to turn on the lights.
