Oh those pesky trees

The criminal mischief charges have been dismissed. Now, I am on a committee to explore the tree situation. And we are exploring it to death. 2 months now and we finally sent out a survey to the downtown merchants to get their feelings about the trees planted in our city sidewalks. Some on the committee wanted to include all the residents of our fair city. Could you imagine looking through 3 or 4 thousand returned surveys and trying to come up with some coherent thought about the situation? I think the easiest thing to do is to follow the lead of one of the business owners. The trees in front of his business "mysteriously" died. And the city parks department removed the dead carcasses. My tree looks a little under the weather. I am worried that it might not make it through the winter.
