From CO you could see all of TX? Some set of peepers you got there, cowboy. :Eye:
And DTE, 3 yrs ago some of the TX plague infected the Oval Office; aren't we lucky?
That kind of generalization sounds like misapplication of research so rife between academia and some "educational" orgs...As for money buying intelligence, easy money seems to negate what intelligence there used to be; dumb luck makes em dumb and dumberer.

Okay I have told this story before but its a good one.
A rich (austrailian) guy had a 30 dbh sycamore growing from the hillside above his house in a very well off suburb of this city, the trunk stretched amost totally horizontally, OVER his glass featured roof. (it went completely over his large house) He saw the tree as a pest and had RINGBARKED it with an axe. Lucky for him his limbwristedness wasnt enough to kill the tree.
I have to admit I wasnt very subtle in the way I questioned him about what he was trying to do by killing a tree that had only one thing to fall on. I didnt get the job.

My Dad told me one time that he saw 2 guys doing "tree work" for a neighbor. The feller simply placed the saw at the base of the tree, revved it up and proceeded to walk the saw around and around the tree until it bound. Dad didn't finish watching the fiasco though I wish he would have. The tree wasn't very big or in a dangerous location, lucky for the homeowner. I just wonder how they couldn't spot the lack of professionalism the "tree workers" had, or didn't have. Maybe they were blinded by the low price.
