Dan is me

Too fewer trees vs too many trees. Interesting comparison.

I’m the only other person I know of who uses ‘albeit’ in casual conversation.

That big city Minnesota traffic.

And Dan keeps his eyes on the road. Good driving, Dan!

Sometimes when life gets too hectic, I alway say I wish I had a log cabin in the middle of the forest, with a stream, food, paper, pencils, and lots of books……good bye cruel world…..LOL

one of these days i want to go to Minneapolis and throw my hat in the air.

I’ve only lived in Oregon/Washington and Vermont. Guess I like MORE trees, although with exception to Vermont, I’ve lived in the city. My apartment is surrounded by many trees. In fact it’s called The Park. Haven’t seen any bears yet thank goodness :-)

My mom, sister and I were driving home from New Mexico to Kansas. The map had the highway for one of our possible routes marked as “scenic,” so we decided to take that. Turns out the scenery was entirely made up of trees growing up the mountainside on one side of the highway, and the tops of the trees below on the other side of the highway. We three prairie girls were not impressed.

I’m utterly happy with All The Trees crowding on all sides and blotting out the rest of the world. Bring on the serial killers!

Ah, the Goldilocks Theory of Trees – I’ve studied it very deeply in my undergrad career.

The more trees the merrier for me. My Grandfathers farm in North Dakota had a shelter belt of trees. When I was a wee lad it seemed like a forest.

She probably watches too much of the murder channel.

How do you know when a tree has had too much root beer?

He won’t stop texting his ax

I agree with Dan

In my hometown some of the older streets are lined with gorgeous shade trees with glorious blossoms in the springtime. Probably why it’s my favorite time of the year.
