I told the shade tree committee and the local boroughs I have a name in to stop inviting me to bid....... The work always goes for pennies on the dollar. Always has around here, and always will. The last outfit that did height reductions on the honey locusts that line the main street though Clarks Summit, cut the shit out of all the Christmas lighting in the trees. The borough was on a ultra tight budget last year for a few reasons and couldn't afford to have the borough workers spend a week taking out the old lights and replacing them with new ones. So last Christmas, our ordinarily beautiful and cozy Clarks Summit, lacked Christmas.
I laughed. If you pay bananas, you get monkeys.
