    Now I don't begrudge the guy a job but really, here's a guy
    arborist, (tree nazi as we call them here) getting paid by
    your and my tax dollars to climb up in a 450 to 500 year old
    oak to trim it out and add lightening rods.

    OK, now, it's FOURHUNDREDANDFIFTY to FIVEHUNDREDYEARSOLD :gah:

    Does it really need a team of tree guys to climb it and attach lightening rods

    I know it's a big tree, looks cool and all but really,
    if we are changing climate through all the things
    we do, isn't screwing with nature just as bad?

    LOL I dunno It just seemed well... odd... :roflmao:

    I am in that business and if they used spurs and or spikes that is just wrong. All that does is open wounds. If its not broke don't fix it !
