And the dentist said he could not do a root canal while in the
top of the tree.  Duh!

>SANTA CLARITA, California ( AP ) - The inhabitant of an old oak that
>has taken up residence there for 39 days to prevent its felling has
>received the visit of a dentist called for help.

>�Visit at home, I had already made; but never in a tree�, has declared
>Dr Anan Michel while he was coming down from the top of the tree.

>Quigley has installed at 14 meters of the ground in the foliage of an
>oak that he wants to save despite a project of widening a road. Michel
>and Quigley have therefore suited an appointment to a part of the tree
>that allows a dental consultation in good conditions.

>Quigley had broken his superior left molar, last week, by crunching a
>bit too hard in an "energy bar" (food). Then Dr Michel has installed
>a temporary crown. The installation of the definitive one will be made
>when Quigley will come back "home".

>In the meantime, the county of Divide Angeles has ordered the
>extraction of the oak to allow the passage of the two four ways roads.
>In a first time, it had been decided to simply destroy it. After
>several manifestations, the county has compromised in order that it is
>replanted elsewhere. But its defenders assert now that this oak will
>not survive the move.
