Does this take place before Legend of Korra?

Pretty useful actually. I do field biology work and hate having to use my phone out in the sun, but it’s just more convenient than bringing a 2nd “rugged device”

Aren’t assassin bugs harmless? Why the body count at all?

Excellent write-up and thank you.

This is an amazing idea. I’ve toyed with the idea of creating both subject specific and geographic specific groups for my interests but it’s a clunky solution. For example, I like birdwatching, but I want to know what people are seeing around me, not on a continent away, so being able to join a centralized ‘birding’ group then narrow it down geographically would solve the problem of having to create potentially hundreds of sub groups. Same for politics, news, restaurants, etc.

I’m east of these beaches this week on vacation. Is this related to the high water temperatures in the Gulf? Saw fish have been driven to strange behavior in southern Florida recently.

“mostly” was actually a subset of employees that owned a controlling interest and shared with some more passive investors. I don’t know the details on how the PEF got a majority but I imagine the passive investors were bought out and can’t imagine it took many employees to defect to produce the majority.

I think being stepped on would be less trauma than transplanting. You could always fold them back onto your property and wrap them with some flagging tape or something to keep them visible to workers.

By cutting them back, I meant cutting them back to a reasonable length to manage. It’s usually not great to prune plants more than 1/3 of their total size, but some plants will even recover from a full cut back. The jasmine will be fine. Depending on the rose variety, they should be ok too. Some people seriously prune roses to encourage flowering.

I’d leave them in the ground if possible and just untangle them from the fence. Cut them back if need be. This is not a great time for transplantation and they may not survive.

If you have to take them out, your plan is probably the best you can do. Make sure to keep the roots wet the entire time they’re out. That’s going to be your main killer.

I think the construction company is just being lazy and doesn’t want to work around the tree but if it’s a Bradford Pear, they’d be doing you a favor. If it’s on the south side of the house insist on the replacement being something sturdy and deciduous so you get shade in the summer and sun in the winter. Cherry bark and Scarlet Oaks are great. You have some leaf pickup every year, but as hot as the summers have been lately, you’ll save a fortune on electric if it shades your house.

If you want it as an evergreen green screen, get a Southern Magnolia.

And the attack happened at sea… ‘C’ for Catwoman!
