When you're feeling down, there's nothing like a half hour dicing mesquite branches with a loose-screwed, dull-edged set of loppers to brighten your mood. The best part is making the scissors motion while stabbing them brutally into the big green trash can in an effort to make the cuttings actually fit within it. It's like acting out that scene in "Hotel California" with the mythological Green Man standing in for the beast.
