Good to hear what's up with your life Timmy, even so indirectly. A strange but true anecdote: I recently went on a guided walk through the campus redwoods around here where our ranger-type guide held the same quirky aesthetic beliefs about trees and water as our friend in Florida. He kept reminding us that the redwoods were beautiful, sure, but they drank up all the water, leaving the soil dry, dusty and (and I quote) "unattractive."
