Oh, yeah?

Okay, okay. So I was a little vague about the actual height of this bifurcated yucca in my Alpine Run album. Sorry. (It's funny what people will get hung up on. There were some who thought it was an optical delusion.) Not having an inclinometer or any other such device to actually measure its height, I decided to do the next best thing -- stand next to it for a little scale. Now all you unbelievers out there can just take your little 6" rulers out of your pocket protectors and shove 'em up . . . against your monitor and do the math. I'm 5'10" tall. (I used to be 5'11", but something happened.) Let me know what you come up with, give or take an inch.

[You should get something around 21 feet, but that's not taking parallax into account. I have my own 6" ruler, I'm just not smart enough to work a pocket protector.]
