Antiquated sign of status, probably. Look at me, I have land I don't have to use for food production. I have plans to remove almost all of mine, but believe it or not, that's gonna take money.
My blue spruce is dying because the tap root can't reach water, which has been pumped down to 90 feet. My locust are surviving, kinda. My sycamore trees are doing very well on their own, thankfully. Some ancient owner planted them close to the house for shade, which they do an amazing job of providing., but eventually they'll either wreck the foundation or have to be removed. As for native trees, the pine trees are dying off by the acre. The recent rain and snow is a welcome relief, but until the aquifer recharges, this drought ain't over.
I hear you on that, brother. We've been luckier here. I've been jogging through the park the last 3+ years, and this past week I went by no less than 6 cascades. I think the previous record was 3. We're getting some water.
And across the bay, my old home town is continuing it's slow advance into the [ocean.]
It's nature's way. One of my interns is from Pacifica. He got out of dodge too.
I left in 67, at the ripe old age of 15.
You won't have to worry about that very much longer. The acid rain and fracking fluid will neutralize all that nasty pollen.
Hey, love the one you're with. At least they don't fall asleep
Chicken needed a break…
Around here at this time of year the deer are totally asking for it.
Between the tree bukkake up my nose in the spring to the roving, street-crossing deer orgies in the winter, I'm really beginning to hate nature.
Here the drought is killing the trees, and traffic is killing the animals. But not the animals that are killing my lawn and garden.
Remind me again, what's a lawn?

of course! That thing of my dad's I mowed when I was a kid.
Any trees able to handle the drought there, or are the only trees there the one the white men brought in?

Asper the missus' request, I'm being tested for autism
