I was very interested in the comments on professional pruners who don't use ladders at all. I was also stunned by the hundreds of inches of snow you all are dealing with. Here in Tenn we don't even get one good snowfall per winter anymore. This list is very deceptive. If someone emails you privately, it won't be obvious unless you actually look to see where your response is going. I email some folks on the list privately, and am so used to simply hitting reply that I forget sometimes and hit reply to emails they have sent via the list. We all goof now and then. If we always keep our remarks at least humorous, no matter how pointed, at least when we turn around and discover the crowd reading them, we can feel better knowing they've been entertained.
Personally, I have been wanting to chastise those who complain about flooding, when we are already getting parched here. Maybe if some people wouldn't put in orders to take all our rain... I mean, we'd have been thrilled to take half of Indiana's recent 11 inches. A lot of it would have soaked right in. Seriously, what have you midwesterners done, uncovered some kind of ancient rain fetish? Or are we all just sinners here in the southeast, and God is mad at us? (It's because the fundamentalists voted for Bush, but here I am having to suffer for it too. ) Two of the last 3 years were serious droughts, and the one in between was merely adequate. We have had just adequate rainfall the first 4 months of the year, but it's falling back into the same pattern. I noted that the Biodynamic folks over in Australia were talking about doing weird stuff to break up their droughty weather pattern. I wonder if enough people using weird energy techniques could actually make the weather behave a little better. Donna
