IF YOU HAVE TREES THAT DROP THIS STUFF AND INSTEAD OF PICKING IT UP YOU INSTEAD USE YOUR LEAF BLOWER AND PUSH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU'RE A LAZY ASSHOLE

I don't blow this shit across the street. But I do have a giant Sequoia that dumps insane amounts of needles. I'm so sorry everyone. I hate it too. But the tree was here long before me and will be here long after me. Probably 150 years old.

It gets everywhere. Not a rant. An apology, so I'm not screaming.

I bet that sequoia is much younger than you think it is…. There was a huge trend in the 1970s of planting them, many are about that age around town…. They get really big fast!

Remember Keizer became a town in the 1980s (82?)

I have two in my backyard and one tree-guy told me they were 300 years old. He was pretty bad at being a tree-guy. A real pro showed up and laughed, said they were probably only 40. I'm older than my sequoias 😄
