A tale of three tree huggers


Recently, there has been some discussion on this blog about tree huggers. Three good examples are shown at left. The one in the middle will grow wise learning from his mother the importance of good earth stewardship in order to save humanity from disease, starvation and death. The one on the left, after cutting down a decades-old tree because it dropped a few leaves in his pool (in other words, a one-man effort to ruin hundreds of gallons of fresh drinking water so he can splash around once a month), has REPLANTED a tree in the same spot due to too much sun. Hmmm...this kind of vision and forethought is astounding. We need a guy like this in the White House...but, alas, we already have one. And finally, the handsome one on the right hugs trees because he thinks that will get him more "action" in the bedroom. Now, THAT's how we Herrera's roll.

Love your blog, Leah! Am so glad to have finally met your family and welcome you to the blogsphere. It is a weird and wonderful place of strange and unusual people. Just be careful. It is an addiction and so far I can find no treatment. I check my site traffic before I pee in the morning. I no longer talk to friends. I ask them to read the blog. Major craziness!

Your son is beautiful. Welcome to the wonderful journey of motherhood! Come to England and visit us!

Global Warming is the biggest fraud in the history of mankind. For the most part, its a religion for the godless(I am not saying all global warming people are aethists). I believe in conservation, but not in global warming. I did the math by the way, here is what cutting the tree down did for the environment:

1. I reduced the run-time of my pump from 8 hours to 5.5 per day. This saves about 75 Kilowatts of electricity per month (and saves me about $8).
2. I consume ~25% less chlorine, Calcium and Acid because birds don't crap in my pool from the tree, saves about $7 per month
3. I fired the pool guy, who I suspected of being an illegal alien anyway (Different topic) - Saves me $40 per month

WIN WIN for Planet Earth and Jo Jo.

Thanks for your consideration for the american work-force and protecting the environment. Max is lucky to have such a thoughtful godfather. Especially, since you are writing my thoughts from the safety of Flordia.

Thanks PT. By the way, corrections to the note on the home page. The tree was actually about 20 years old (a pretty big tree). I also splash in my pool atleast once a week. Including christmas and new years... Finally, what's so wrong with the planet being a little warm? I mean, most people already live around the equator. 800 People a day move to Florida they move here for the warm weather, sunshine and no state taxes by the way.
I am off to C-town (really cold up there)for the weekend, hopefully Florida will be here when I get back.

Give Max a kiss for me. His 8 month birthday is coming up.
