We lost this old girl in the neighborhood this week… likely one of the longest tenured trees in the area. emoji22.png
 

Seeing stories/photos like that hurts my soul.

I understand that they can't just "temporarily" take all that stock to other stores to keep from losing it, but I kinda wish that they had a system to look at the clock, realize that all that stuff is gonna hit critical temp in, say, 4 hours, and call the foodbank and say "come grab what you can - you have two hours."  Hell, even if they used an HEB refrigerated truck and volunteer labor to load it.  Just seems a shame to lose all that food when people are in need.

What a perfect Austin photo.  A fallen tree....on a Tesla shitbox....in the parking lot of a much-beloved fake taco place.  Captures the essence of Austin in 2025 right there.

and I think that's a hackberry tree so a shit tree too, protected by the city.

The good news is that the property owner can now build a McMansion with that pesky protected tree out of the picture.

I'm still slightly bitter about how much $$$ I had to pay to have one removed at my old home, because it developed a crack and I was trying to do the right thing and not have it fall on my neighbors.

How much did you have to pay?  I had a 60 foot Arizona Ash removed down to a stump for $1000 which I thought wasn't too bad.

It's been a few year now but I think it was around 1,300 to 1,500. So your quote seems really reasonable!

Power just came back on. Just in time to throw all the groceries we bought yesterday.

Must be nice.  Still no power here and our HEB is closed indefinitely.  

The last few frozen margs are on ice in the Yeti but I doubt they make until morning.

Only one thing to be done, then.

I have power, but my neighbors not far away are going into day 3 with no power and the linemen told them it's going to be Monday at the earliest before it's restored, and maybe longer.
