There out their people
They are certainly out there. After deciding against palm trees in our new build, we downsized to a pre-owned villa with a big palm tree in the front. When I found evidence of them being in the totally enclosed glove compartment of my car, and elsewhere in the garage, plus a dead one out in the driveway after I backed the car out, we had the tree taken out.


When the tree removal crew showed up, they got five more jobs from our neighbors. We none of us miss those trees.
