I wish I had a river

ok so it's coming on Christmas, they're cutting down trees, they're chopping up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace...

well maybe they used to do that but nowadays they are just cutting down trees...some trees need to go due to disease or root intrusion, but other trees are being cut due to their immigration status...as I checked out Carpinteria I see some big messy native pines are being saved even though they did some damage to the sidewalk and street, while others doing less damage are being cut down because they are not native, altho the excuse is they are doing damage to the sidewalks!

these trees on 7th Street are nice big pines that are messy when they shed..and the giant roots did some sidewalk and street damage, but the city of Carp just blocked the roots and repaved the street and redid the sidewalk...while other foreign trees were just cut down..


in Carp at the beach, the State Park has cut down many trees and is on a native only theme..I'll explore this later but the point is they are mucking up a nice little area in Carpinteria and wasting money to boot..but oh they did have a private slush fund of $54 million they forgot to tell anyone about until they were audited....state parker goofball Rich Rozelle and a few others are responsible for re-making the park into a gaudy, unnatural, treeless BBQ pit with a Tsunami Evacuation Route!!




sycamore on a wire

the eucalyptus at the south end of the park have been clear cut leaving a weird bombed out look....they want to plant sycamores here because they are native, but a big sycamore can drop limbs and damage sidewalks too..this awesome sycamore is about to take out a power line at a local creek....the state and county and city simply don't do timely tree maintenance, instead they wait until the last minute and then start chopping....just another example of poor planning...

and piss poor management!!
