Amen to your last sentence. Because you're new, you missed my earlier rant about the people who bought the acreage next to mine. They proceeded to bring in bobcats and knocked down almost all the trees. The cedar I could understand, but they took out the persimmons, elms, agarita, and prickly pear cactus. It used to be a beautiful wildlife habitat (including a fox den). Now it looks like scorched earth - literally. The brush fires burned for days. I cried. Eight months later and they've planted three skinny peach trees - on four acres. Pitiful. They should have stayed in town!
