We're afraid of one of those trees!

It's so huge, and my wife thinks it's going to fall on our house someday. We had it looked at by an arborist some years ago to make sure it wasn't infested with beetles, or rot, or whatever. The arborist said it was OK. Our current neighbors themselves had it re-examined by a different arborist a couple of months ago, and that arborist said it was still OK. Fortunately, we have a "volunteer" wild oak which has grown up in the path between the pine and our house, and it's just about big enough now to break the fall of the pine tree in the event that it does fall. In any case, the pine tree predates both our move into our current house, as well as our current neighbors' move into their house.
