I liketh my coworkers...they keep an eye on our students so I could go home<3

CDs<3<3 Amazon order arrived already, so now have Kill Bill 1 and 2 OSTs, and Muse's Showbiz and Absolution. Verra verra cool. Think I shall listen to while couch-flopping.

Have been getting estimates on tree pruning. Tree pruning. Pruning, I think, is a ancient Sumerian word meaning 'man, you are over 30 now, aren't you?'. Speaking of which, I am reminded again how disconcerting it is to know that my generation, in fact those a decade younger I am, are producing the *next* generation (see Penny Arcade, etc) And it's no longer a bad thing that receives frowny-face news-editorial commentary. It weirds me out even more that there are many younger than I am who have children hitting school age already. I'm so not ready for this...

Ok, down-lying, yes.

Personally, I'd much rather have people NOT going about making babies. You and I both know (From firsthand experiences, or at least that thing Kenji posted) that people these days AREn'T good parents by and large... So I'd rather they learn a thing or two about parenting and THEN having babies, rather than having a new generation that'll be even WORSE than the Soccer Moms of today.

...

Oh yeah. And Pruning can also mean when written in cuniform "HAHA KIDS. GO AND DO CHORES! PARENTS DEMAND IT!", or something. My ancient language reading skills aren't up to par. *grin*

One problem with Canada having so many trees near homes, is that we have to prune so many trees constantly... XD;

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. I'm a big proponent of zero population growth, and even am one that wishes there were things like parenting liscences and mandatory classes. There are *too* many idiots out there, and too many lazy gits that expect others to parent, or just absorb 'values' from politics or religion and then spout it to their progeny without actually thinking it through for themselves. But it just weirds me out in general that those of our generation are firmly entrenching themselves in adulthood this way--it's just *odd* for me for some reason >_>

*snerks* Unfortunately, no kids to do such things here, just cats--and I don't think they've got the opposable thumbs for it. ^^ Though these are 30+year old mature maples, so I wouldn't have an amateur adult work with them, much less kids--the work is way too danged high up there, not safe at all. We certainly don't have the ladders for it. I'll leave it to a professional crew with equipment and liability insurance and stuff ^^; (Gads, hadn't though about that--you guys must have to deal with that sorta thing tons...! ^^ )

Yeah... But luckily the city handles most of the stuff for the trees by roads. Power lines and such. They're generally good about it... I'll stop there incase I start into a rant... XD;;

Pretty soon, I'm going to have to start pruning those apple trees and the spruces we have growing on our property line... As for the trees that were planted before I was born... yeah. Those aren't fun.

Anyways. Yay trees. Or something.
