It's been two days since you posted your message, so you've had time to
call your cooperative extension office and ask them about the problem.
And, today's Tuesday, so we know the office was probably open yesterday
and today.

When you called them, what did they say about this tree?

He can't ask advice here too, 'your cooperative extension' is the end all
right?


No, silly. But, his description suggests that the tree is losing its grip on
the ground beneath. I don't know about you, but that sounds analogous to a
55 year old human having chest pains and shortness of breath.



Not to mention the fact that it's so close to the street and walkway..

If a tree falls on someone in the street, do they make a sound?

Yup, and then they sue you.. It's best to let someone "LOOK" at the
thing and make a choice. I'd say the cooperative extension department is
one of the better choices to make as to having someone actually look at
the thing.
