When the Bay Area's weather permits, folk legend Joan Baez sleeps 20 feet above ground in a wall-less treehouse nestled inside a 200-year-old oak on her property. On Wednesday, while disembarking from the house, she fell to the ground, sending her to the hospital. Baez was treated for minor injuries at Stanford Hospital after the incident at her Woodside, Calif., home. Rolling Stone's Afternoon With Joan Baez And Pete Seeger "My contact with nature and the moon and the birds and the trees, they mean so much to me," Baez said when discussing the treehouse in an October interview with the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle . Nancy Lutzow, who works at Baez's company Diamonds & Rust Productions, told the San Jose Mercury News on Thursday that the singer was "resting comfortably." Baez's next live appearances are scheduled for March 2011. Joan Baez injured in fall from backyard treehouse [San Jose Mercury News via Pat's Papers]

Actually, I have a reputation of staying in harness in a forest or city tree sit more than most folks doing this. I have spent weeks high in a five to six hundred year old tree in old growth with no mishap because I had training in the military as aircraft crew and a paratrooper to pay attention to detail as far as safety goes. I had help the day I fell, and in this case, Joan Baez didn't. All we had in common is the gravity of the situation of being a resident of Earth. Hope she heals well and quickly.
I thought she was already dead. Judging by her pic, she's one foot in the grave, already... (mortuary makeup) Huh.
Getting tired of the bozoed calcon following me around on the 'net, wanting to discuss "tossing salad." Sorry, you sick rump-ranger. NOT interested.
She looks pretty darn good for 70.
Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains. Thomas Jefferson

Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
