R.I.P. Trees

When I was eight years old my parents had a story teller come to my birthday party and regale us with the story of The Lorax, via environmentalism. A good time was had by all, and the cake was an ice cream cake, which is perfect for December.

Flash forward twenty years, and much to my dismay trees at SMCM are being TORN DOWN.

Look at this gorgeous beauty. The Tree of Life, so majestic and powerful via age, destroyed with the BLADE OF MAN.

Yes that wonderful tree at the entrance to the Garden of remembrance is no more.

And look, another tree near the White House/Lucille Clifton House.

But why are these trees gettin' chopped up, like so many carrots in the Great Room?

Possible Theories...

• Captain Planet style anti-environment villain
• Pruning
• Disease
• Gentrification
• The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and Sauron/Dr. Jordan needs trees for their respective war machines

Who knows!@1@11!!!!

Would be cool 2 buy some of the tree. Maybe a slice of tree, via slices of pizza???

Big ups 2 @Viet for taking these photos!!!

Garden of Remembrance Benches

I have always liked these benches near the Garden of Remembrance because there is always someone there on a nice day.

Yesterday it was two people making out. Stephen Warner and I were taking our afternoon stroll when we noticed them. We thought it was awkward so we decided to take a picture! It's the people near my face with the boots.

They seemed like a nice and happy couple.
