They had 365 days to pick from; they picked Lenin’s birthday.
I remember being young and stupid.
One earth day, I brought home 4 black olive trees that nobody wanted and I felt sorry for. I planted them around my house and years later regretted it after the roots destroyed my water main. One grew for 15 years, then hurricane wilma toppled it and after it fell over, the giant root-ball pulled up part of my driveway.
