I'm no tree-hugger but you know what? Go hug a tree.
Seriously I don't know how desert people do it. One of the reasons I'm so appreciative of trees now, is not just because they provide oxygen and wood. Nor just because I watched Lord of the Rings and empathized with the Ents. But because during lunch breaks I typically like to read in my car. During the summers especially, the sun blazes down and even having the windows down, it still gets hot as F. Trees provide the shade, so I'm comfortable in my car. Something I took for granted growing up in a small town on Cape Cod. It's harder to find for me now in my new location at work here in So Cal, but it's so friggin' valuable at that time for me to have shade so I can eat, read and take a power nap.
Hooray for trees.

I don't know if my last comment was posted, so here it is again.
F trees, and F You.
1. When was the last time you were about to crash into a tree, and the tree was all like, "Ya know what? I'm gonna get the F out the way, cuz this ain't gonna be good for either of us."
2. If trees handed out angry biblical justice like Ents, I'd totally get behind them.
3. Trees don't stand up for their rights, so why should I? "Hey you down there, I say, what's that you're doing with a chainsaw? Oh, I see. Well then, carry on."
4. Think fast: live outside or in a house? Exactly.
5. Have you ever been to New England? Believe me, trees are doing just fine, the bastards.
