With a ramshackle but beautiful writing room with 22 lattice-paned window up inside the canopy. When we sold it to move north, the buyer (a realtor) cut my writing room oak down.<br /><br />Meanwhile my neighbors allowed a gorgeous one to lift their kitchen off its foundations--decided they'd rather lose the kitchen than the tree. <br /><br />And...if we keep having stories like the ones about the Chinese computer chips with "back doors," maybe the government will start to see reasons to have have more homegrown industry.marly youmanshttp://www.thepalaceat2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-31578426911012199492011-06-29T12:05:23.377-07:002011-06-29T12:05:23.377-07:00Yeah, we'll at least get some started.

And they can buy people. <br /><br />Tree of heaven, had one of those across the fence in my childhood backyard. Nasty, smelly weed, unkillable.
