I find running not to the left or right but FORWARD very quickly ax in
hand and you will soon see only one tree. If when you get to the tree
there is still two trees then be glad one didn't fall when you were
running and no one was not around to hear it! Also try closeing one eye.
Watch that ax while running!

You know the sound of one hand clapping? Should have been more careful
with the ax!
