The "disaster" was foreseen and you chose to do nothing.



Dorkus Maximus has spoken!

Pruning trees in KY is much more expensive than pruning palm trees in
Los Angeles. Even with tax increases state and municipal gov't are
facing billions in cutbacks due to the worsening economy. Forgive us
if we put more emphasis on saving our school system than in pruning
trees.

Armchair quarterbacks always have the answer.


My link was for Georgia, not Los Angeles. My personal experience comes
for a learned-the-hard-way lesson when Katrina visited Houston in 1983
and my power was out for 10 days, due to trees taking out all the power
lines.

How hard is it to trim ****ing trees?
