Oh…

No, no, no. The whole idea is to make the pleasure last!😉

One would think a **Monkey With a Gun** would know… 😃

I find myself unable to refute your flawless argument. I concede.

I apologize for the recent mispost folks. The slow boards and use of multiple browsers managed to cause this mare’s nest.

I thinks it’s strange that in a state that allows the logging of giant redwoods would give a toss about a few oak trees.

Oh…that’s right, it’s California:rolleyes:

So let me see if I have this straight. Your house has always been there? What the Earth cooled and your house appeared? Did you have much trouble fixing the sabre tooth cats claw marks in the stucco? When Father Serra arrived in San Jose to found the mission did he stay in your house? :wally

What do you think was on the land where your house sits before it was built? Natural grass and quite possibility trees.  
You (and the County of Ventura) fit the classic definition the difference between a developer and an environmentalist?  
A developer wants to buy land in the forrest to build a house. An environmentalists allready has a house in the forrest.

Actually, Father Serra built my house and I handed him the nails.
