Drunk Amateur Astronomers With Machetes

The following is true and the names have not been changed to protect anybody.

"Don't worry about it, Becky. It's just something you do when you're drunk." Nick said as he walked out of the house carrying a machete.
How the house was able to carry a machete, I'll never know. But seriously, we needed the machete to "girdle" a eucalyptus tree in order to bring the rapidly disappearing moon back into view. Anyway, even although the tree survived, and astronomers called it an eclipse, you can thank Nick, Greg, and myself for saving the moon.
