I don't remember the details of the balcony ordeal...only what Jay has told me.
The guy running into the palm tree was just as much his fault. He was drunk, too.....
I lived in the corner apartment of a one-level complex. I was sick, and went out for fresh air. Then I got really sick, so I stuck my head over the block wall....just about the time this drunk guy was pulling into the parking lot.
Apparently, he thought he was seeing a human head sitting on my block wall.....
He quit drinking for a long time after that.
