I remember that 50 trees on my place were destroyed by hurricane IKE. I had
a burn pile going for three months. The remaining trees (mostly yellow
pine) constantly drop "tree poop" and create a constant task in the yard and
fields. But, I think about those with few or no trees, and smile a bit.
BTW, I climb my tower and see no tree tops above 70 feet. All of my buddies
say their trees are at least 100 feet tall.

I agree. But trees can be in short supply in some localities.
