An engineering marvel...

Yes, I'm talking about that stupid plastic bag stuck in the tree again.  I stood on my balcony today watching as the wind whipped that little bag back and forth and all around. I was pretty sure today would be the day I saw it blow away. But no, it's still hanging in there, snagged on a tiny branch at least 30-40 feet off the ground. I really can't imagine why or how it has hung on so long (at least 10 weeks) but it surely is a testament to the toughness of those plastic grocery bags, not to mention the toughness of the tree branch.  Would anyone like to place a bet on how long it hangs in there?  Will it ultimately blow away or be turned into a bird's nest.  Only time will tell.
