    ok those trees are Sumac, there are 2 types of trees. the ones we have in our area are like poison ivy with similar reactions to the skin. there is also a non poisonus variety but both grow at alarming rates.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

              ^ there's no such thing, all trees lie and promise you fruits aplenty, but when you're not looking, they jump all over your cars and make a general mess of things.

                  I still cringe when I think about the pics you posted. :-(

                  You're a lucky guy, fresh. You would pay some nice money to build a wall like that around here.

                    You know, since Marcus lives way out past Yonderville, with his property composed almost entirely of vegetables and immaculate Festivas, with related accessories...I bet late at night, inside his many buildings, strange sounds clank, whirr and hummmm. Test tubes gurgle over Bunson burners, things melt together in strange, unnatural ways, and one day, we'll find out he has discovered how to combine metallurgy, biochemistry and genetics, and grow...

                    Living the Dream, Marcus!
