Though I'm a city product. I'll take the country these days and to hell with the big city. The "small" looks just fine and just as good...or better. LOve, daver

You are so a thought spoken man, Joe! Gotta love those great oaks and the fanning broad leafed chestnut trees.:) Odd to imagine that "small seed nut", can grow to such magnificent "greatness"! I don't know how you come up with your ideas, Joe! You truly are a thought spoken man! Best wishes, Love, Mikki

As Rush sing "There is unrest in the forest, there is trouble with the trees. For the Maples want more sunlight, and the Oaks ignore their plea's" fine Haiku Joe - I have left you Soup Mail :)
