TreeTuesday — Meet my new friend Brandt, who is a tree
Hey everyone, for this TreeTuesday I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Brandt. 

Brandt is a tree:

I met Brandt the other day while out for a nice evening ski on the Mineral Belt Trail. I just about skied by him without noticing, but at the last moment he said:

> _**Hello!**_

I was rather confused, because I'd never been greeted by a tree before. I wasn't sure what to do. So I just stood there on my skis, not saying anything and being rather confused. 

The tree tried again:

> _**Hellooooo! Hey man, you there? I'm talking to you!**_

I've noticed that when I don't respond to human beings, they sometimes think I'm being rude (when the truth is that I'm just confused). I figured the same might be the case with tree beings, so I replied:

> _**Hello, how are you?**_

And the tree said:

> _**I'm doing GREAT, thanks for asking! Just getting snowed on here and enjoying this nice evening in the exact same spot I enjoy every evening, yessir!**_

I'm not very good at talking to trees (or people, come to think of it), so I just smiled and waited to see if the tree would say anything else. 

> _**Oh gosh, where are my manners? My name is Brandt! What's yours?**_

A tree is talking to me. A tree with the same name as me. What a crazy world. What is going on. How is this possible. There is something wrong with my head. I'm crazy. I'm so confused. 

> _**Uhh … well, that's kinda weird, because my name is Brandt, too.**_

> _**Awesome! That's cool that we have the same name! I like you!**_

> _**Uhh, thanks. I guess I like you, too. Well, it was good to meet you, Brandt, but I better get going.**_

> _**What? We just met! Let's talk for a while and get to know each other! We've got the same name! And I've got all night! Not going anywhere anytime soon, not me, that's for sure!**_

> _**It's getting cold. I'll freeze if I stay much longer.**_

Usually I'm clueless when it comes to gracefully exiting a conversation I don't want to be in, but this seemed like a pretty legit exit strategy. _I can't stay because I'll die if I do._ Easy. 

>_**Well, I can't argue with that! You humans and your silly warm blood! LOL! Say hi the next time you pass by!**_

Yes, he actually pronounced "LOL" as a word, which I thought was pretty funny.

>_**Will do, Brandt. Have a good night. LOL!**_

>_**You too, Brandt. See ya.**_

I think me and Brandt are going to get along. I think this relationship just might work out.
