I just found out I need a permit to cut down the trees on my own property... I already took down 2 with no one noticing...

 

yeah palo alto is like that too, hence scandal

 

I like the 70 to 85 range, anything below 70 I need heat, anything around the 85 range i start to get too hot. We keep the boat at 78 to 79, i could probably a/c this thing down to 65 if i wanted LOL

 

I'm saddened by this news. That's a lot of trees that I won't be able to hug. Ever.

 

Can't you spoon them once they've been cut down?

 

BTW, the oak in that pic isn't very nice looking, frankly it's a very ugly tree. Just sayin'.

 

you live in florida you wouldn't know a "real" oak tree if it had a sign on it that said Northwestern Oak

 

I bet when it hits 50 degrees they are cold, I still dont have my heat on in the house when its 50.



The other night was chilly, when I woke up it was 60 degrees inside the house, still no heat goes on yet.



They had a great idea to cut down large old trees here to minimize the damage when the big hurricane hits, its been a few

years waiting for this big hurricane to come along, they also canceled home owners policies waiting for this big hurricane, lots of water front people had their policies canceled.



Since all this Im pretty sure my farts make more wind then the hurricane that never comes.

 

I'm sorry, what? I could barely hear you over the sound of how awesome our real oak trees are. They're not snooty, coffee-drinking, bicycle-riding, new age hippy Northwestern oaks, with their boring, pompous straight trunks and their stubbornness to deal with shitty weather, only to form dense wood perfect for my furniture.

edit: eh, you're right, I could see how these look hideous to other folks. Gave the South its "gothic" reputation and all, back in the day. And don't play with the fluffy, fun Spanish moss. They hold a nasty surprise.

 

Lets get down to brass tacks here, not only would your "oak" tree be a pain in the *** to harvest for firewood, a real oak tree is 15 feet around, which would in turn provide much more wood then your oak tree. I'll put it to you this way, I know people in Washington State that paid for their lot selling the old oak trees on it, i don't think you'd pay for your lot selling that windy knotty pile of wood you've got there
