When I first moved to Walla Walla Washington the Chamber of Commerce sent me a 'Welcoming Packet' and that packet included all kinds of history, facts etc about WW. Now that was 40 years ago but back then in that packet is said that WW had more trees per capita than any other city in the nation. I wouldn't doubt that one bit. If you get up in the hills and look down into the valley you'll see this cluster of trees surrounded by wheat, fields, grapes etc.

There's laws to protect trees here. For instance if there's a tree in the parking and it's say 'overgrown' you have to request permission to have it removed AND you have to replace it with another tree. There are several trees in WW that are record holders. See here:
Champion Trees

I enjoy good trees. With that said the tree in the backyard of my neighbor's duplex was nothing but a pest! When it was blooming it put out so much crap that you couldn't even BBQ as it got all over your food.

The landlord removed the rain gutters from the back of the duplex as he struggled to keep it free of leaves. Due to no gutter not only have I but so have my children and one grandchild slipped and fallen a few times over the years on ice OR if I hadn't removed the green slime that builds up on the steps and other concrete (That area is North and shaded a lot).

Well lo and behold the guy who bought the house adjacent to the duplex contacted my landlord and apparently they split the cost of having the tree removed.

The job took two days but now maybe I can get some rain gutters put back up!

GONE!!!



They still need to grind the stump out but that'll only take a bit.

I will say that the people in the apartments behind me are going to find that they will be running their air conditioning more as it blocked a lot of afternoon sun from that building.

So this is where the saying "It takes one to know one" comes from?

Several years ago I worked with a guy who thought he was God's Gift to women. I'll admit that he was handsome but his drinking was his curse. (I once saw him stagger out of his rig to check into a motel/he was on Company Time while he traveled) He'd been married twice and divorced twice and had two children.

Long story made short. Due to his drinking he was sent back to his store and friends told me he looked like shite.

I only found out later that he'd killed himself and my friend who let me know told me that he'd attended the services and there was only himself and the guys two children there.

I guess you reap what you sow. With that said, I had tears reading about this man's situation and the response of the community around him.

I hope this link works for all--

Pretty cool video showing a huge range of trees from the tiniest to most gargantuan (a species which I had not heard of til now). Guessing the 0.1 m grass image is included for scale:

Tried my hand at a 14th century crossbow today
3 shots, from 40 ft away.

First shot hit the 40.
Second the 80, left of center.
Third, second 0 in the bull..
Was pretty happy with my aim, and got a thumb pump from the gent running the exhibit.
Did this in the actual outer wall garrison of the Prague castle while touring the place. They had the range set up along the inside of the one wall.
Cheers..
