very nice, healthy specimens.
A good example of the proper use of community funds
for improvement of a neighborhood.
I have a nice Red Plum growing in my backyard in
one of those barrel planters. It’s gotten too big
for the plantar so now I have to figure out what
to do with it.
I’m thinking of building a large wooden planter and
transferring it there.
Or perhaps I could wheel it to the curb next summer
and put a price tag on it.
I hear the city pays $1000 for each tree planted.
Is Berkeley shitty and boring and full of coked up 20 something dickwads and 30 minutes from the parts of San Fran where people actually want to be? If so then I guess I understand the comparison.
I’ve recently spent quite a lot of time in Berkeley. I can see the comparison, but the one main difference in my opinion is that a lot of people in Berkeley are free-thinking individuals and a lot of the people in Williamsburg are sheep and just do what everyone else around them does. Berkeley is known for protests, Williamsburg is known for a new La Esquina where girls will be traveling from NJ to snort coke off a bearded hipster’s ass.
donatella- because in some countries, owning livestock is nt only a matter of being able to support yourself and your family by giving yo the means to start a business, it can be a matter of life and death. It’s far better than a charitable handout that is here today, gone tomorrow. It’s to help them build a future for themselves- what could possibly be bad about that?
M4L- 🙁 I’m not allowed pickles anymore (ulcers ya know). What about a fork? 😉
…so we got our street trees on Wednesday!

Cobble,

Oh, and Berkeley is way prettier.
Ask to see the accounting records for this charity. Sounds ridiculous to me.
Yakkity Yak, don’t talk back.

And none of them are bemoaning the fact they have an American Apparel, without which they wouldn’t know how to dress.
There was a charity that sent yaks to people, dona. IIRC it was called ‘Yaks for Youth’. Not sure if that’s still going.
(they sent them overseas. Not sure that folks in teh US would know what to do with a yak).
