Seems very much the truth, both parties.
From a Norsk friend,, so it is not only our problem...
One day, a florist went to a barber for a haircut. Afterwards, he asked for the bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I am doing community service this week. '
The man was pleased and left the shop.
When the hairdresser came to open the shop the next morning, there was a thank you card and a dozen roses by the door.
Later a policeman comes in for a haircut and when he tries to pay the bill, the barber again replies: 'I can't accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week.
The police were happy and left the store.
The next morning when the hairdresser came to open up, there was a thank you card and a dozen donuts on the door.
Then Raymond Johansen from Oslo City Council came in for a haircut, and when he was about to pay the bill, the hairdresser replied: 'I can't accept money from you. I’m doing community service this week. Raymond was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the hairdresser came to open up, there were 12 politicians in line waiting for a free barber.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

I would always bet on the tree, but this looks as if a lot of growth by the tree came after the house was in the way..
LOL,, imagine dealing with the wind blown leaves when they fall.. fill and the rain gutters on the house...
I didn't see the cave. Must be behind the house.

Around back, down the little hill on the right. Between the big oak and the forsythia bushes.
