So the County is going to murder my tree today.
Technically the 125 year old Oak tree sits just outside my backyard wall---but as you can see, the trunks go over the wall and into my backyard.

It is a beautiful tree but they have to kill it because they are expanding the road next to it and it's a couple of feet in the way.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Fuckers!

2. It is such a shame.
I would ask the county to cut the tree up and give me the wood for my wood stove.
