Stinkdude can go piss up a rope. The entire area I live in lost trees and had major property damage this past week from two storms that came through here. Several large shade trees lost either large limbs or were taken out. Sorry bitch but your one tree just doesn't quite begin to move the "Give a Damn " needle.
Here in this area we have these odd trees called horse chestnuts. These son of a guns grow huge and drop their fruit that is a wonder of what to do with them. Round or oblong brown nuts with a outside like a porcupine.
Story is back in the 1600 the wealthy brought these trees from England. For some reason the wealthy convinced the early settlers that to be given a seed was an honor, no money for helping them out just this seed.
We have these trees the gift from the Crown everywhere, my mom has an ancient tree on her property, someone in the family must have been stupid to except a damn seed pod instead of money.
Apple trees planted by my fathers grandmother with stood some interesting history, they lived while generations died in wars or civil upheaval. They stood guard at the front of the house as the inhabits were born and died. We the family never noticed their struggle to survive, every year they put forth blossoms and apples mid summer.
Finally as all things die or change, a couple of years ago the trees gave up the ghost and in a storm died, just collapsed against the house.
Trees are a symbol of long life, strength, and have given us the material to build a civilization from scratch.
In the Great Lakes we find timber that has rested on the bed of the lake for 200 years-------- Any idea what one board foot costs to buy from the selvages?????
