Gottfried:<<Brian, great! Let's follow the French lead and bug every tree in our National Forests. :)>> Gottfried I really don't think we should put those bugs in our trees. As you may or may not know, the French affectionately call those little bugs "Skeeters." Apparently, these cute things are actually friendly little parasites and once you put them in a tree it is almost impossible to get them out. They are constantly churning out their waste day in and day out and there are recorded instances where they have left a tree for dead! Of course, more often than not they are just harmless little creatures that can be irritating at times and their daily waste might cause a rash if left untreated. Anyway, let's let the French keep their beloved Skeeters and their stunted little trees and let's watch our beautiful trees flourish as they grow as big as the mighty Redwoods!! Jeff
