And then there's our devil trees....

Nope.
 
I was recently on a flight in which my row consisted of three men. At 6'2 I was easily the shortest of the three. We may as well have interlocked our legs. It might have seemed weird but it would have been more comfortable.

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.
 
It's frustrating for sure, but I'd rather sit next to someone nice who maybe took up a little bit of my space than ever having to sit next to another skinny girl that brought stinky pickled beets and fish on a flight...from seattle to honolulu.

Moral of the story. Don't go to Hawaii
 
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!

I am sure she is all into great-grandmother porn.

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.
 
Chaser: My lost n found Kindle was mailed from the Netherlands on June 2 and arrived in country here on June 4th. It's still waiting to clear customs. Keeping America safe from Amazon Kindle terror!
