The Mystery of the White Plastic Bag

About five weeks ago I noticed a white plastic bag, like the type you would get from Target but without any color that I can see, caught in a high branch of a tree aross the small parking lot from my apartment building.  I have a perfect view looking down on it from my balcony. When I first saw it I assumed that it would blow away within a few days, because it looks like it is just clinging to a branch by one handle loop. But here we are, five weeks later and the bag is still caught in the tree. It gets blown around and inflated by wind and is almost constantly in motion but it won't let go of its branch.  It is one tough little bag.  High winds are predicted for tomorrow but I expect that it will still be hanging in there when I check tomorrow evening. The bag is much too high up in its tree to be reached from the ground so I doubt if anyone will bother to climb up and get it down. So now my challenge is to see how long it lasts in that tree.  No particular reason for this, just silly curiosity. Perhaps you are thinking that I have way too much time on my hands but actually this is only a one-minute a day pasttime. Stay tuned for occasional updates.
