Timber...

I wanted to write a giant rant about how humans are committing mass suicide via intentional stupidity but I don’t have the energy. The wind got knocked out of my sails the other day when I discovered they had hacked down the seven big beautiful 30-year-old trees down the block from where I work.

Despite resistance from city hall and outraged media reports, somehow the good folks at our local farmer’s market (!) and a big time condo developer that shared the street with the trees won. The trees were unceremoniously axed the other day. Cause money wins over nature every time – especially in oil-soaked Alberta.
