    To put up a parking lot

    Recently,In my community 8 redwoods all approx 80 years old were chopped down in the name of urban expansion...This was abig deal, reallymakes me think. I, many members of the community (known for it's heritage redwoods, such ) fought this project for 2 years, finally lost the battle. Mountain View,ca.

    I guess...No, I know I'm a tree hugger.

    Sorry Rick. We has a similar situation in Rome. I long fight and the tree huggers actually won but the tree cutters made a mistake and cut the trees that were marked to be saved. They thought the marked trees were to be cut not to be saved. Sad. They were very old Oaks. Not sure of the age now.
    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..
