In all honesty, what I don’t like about the kinds of questions you are posing is that, although they make for potentially interesting thought exercises, I just have no way of knowing whether you have framed it to include all of the externalities. It’s not mere aesthetics and love for trees that give me pause. I just don’t trust the sealed universe of the hypothetical and I don’t believe in looking at environmental trade-offs and cost-benefit analyses that are too narrowly framed.
wasder, LOL!

OK–Impromptu at Hot Bird? Sounds good to me!
Lech, if you were back in home, Mrs Jackal probably tell you to chop down a tree or blow something up
The thought of being cooped up for a week is already depressing me. Maybe I can use the elliptical machine or something.
Mrs Jackal sometimes tells me to go to the gym or go for a run if I get negative and pissy.
