I am probably the perfect build for air travel. 5'-9" with a short inseam. Even so, for the Euro flights I opted for the econo plus with a bit moar room.
Figured out what is nesting in my white pine. Nest is so small I can't even find it but heard them this morning and finally got a glimpse of the parental units, chipping sparrow. Very cool and they don't carry rabies like those beasts on KC's deck. Apparently they were undisturbed by my pruning yesterday which I did without knowing I was chipping away at their apartment building.
You're right. You're version of KC even has a chip on her shoulder and has the French-speaking cat.
I hate it when I watch a movie on my iPad and somebody tries watching it over my shoulder on the plane. If I want someone to watch my pron with me I'd ask the stewardess.
We keep the ones close to the house trimmed to at least a 7 foot level. I learned from really bad personal experience not to slip on a slope and instinctively grab one for balance. Missed my face, thank goodness, but massive shallow puncture wounds on my chest, belly & thighs. Not a lesson you soon forget!
They used to have some huge honeylocusts with nasty walking level thorns on Sheldon Ave just across from old Clyde Williams Field. Was amazed at the time that these weren't trimmed back. Crazy enough that I still remember it being crazy decades later.
We have two small groves of 4-5 each out in front of the house, and several more groves (they tend to grow in groups for some reason) down the slope behind the house. I don't worry about the ones mixed in the middle of the woods, but the ones out front are close to where people are. Just seems safer, and hasn't seemed to hurt them at all.
Boxster, you may or may not find this interesting as a former landscape architect, but I went to some gardens by the university here and part of it was in a korean style with a pond and some buildings
Boxster says he is a landscape architecture. Boxster says he works for the DoD.
I ask, how do we defend ourselves with landscaping? I think this proves boxster is an undercover CIA agent like on Meet the Fockers.

Do not **** with the landscape.
Unless it is an ash tree, then cut it down.
Only if it can't be treated and saved.
Ash trees suck. They leaf out late, drop leaves early, have ****** form and are messy as hell. Other than that they are awesome. Great trees if you are an arborist cause they need constant pruning and now treatments. Winning!
