What a beautiful tree that was. It was sickening to watch it being destroyed. It just makes no sense at all why someone would even consider cutting it down....
Were they drunk? Seems a weird thing to do.
Growing up we lived on the edge of a growing town. Dad picked best place ever for 3 boys. Behind us was a natural creek with a little water year round (full of crawdads) and 10 acres of oak trees some were 150 years old. When I was in 9th grade the new owners cut those trees down and made apartments that are a ghetto now.
That was then and to this day, heartbreaking for me.
