Personally, I don't understand the fascination with those ugly, dirty live oaks.
(and while we're at it, why are the called "live" oaks?)

Palm trees are beautiful and remind me that I live in a tropical climate.

Oaks are ugly with all that Spanish moss hanging down. The block too much sunlight and create a mess all of one's property. The moss falls off, the leaves come down, the roofs get mold all over them and it's near impossible to grow grass where there is an oak.

Why are these things worshipped like Gods around here? I say chop them all down.
