Residents in Squirrel Hill call for an Entmoot in wake of Pittsburgh Public Works Director Guy “Saruman” Costa revelation that the trees pose a hazard and even brought in a consulting company to agree with him. The Ents are not pleased.

SQUIRREL HILL (KDKA) ― Thousands of shade trees in Pittsburgh neighborhoods are coming down as part of the city’s plan to remove old or dying trees.

But some residents in Squirrel Hill were caught off guard by the program and want it stopped until the matter can be discussed in a public forum.

Resident Terri Glueck calls the damage irreversible.

“It will denude this entire block of its green leafy canopy and make a dramatic and diminished impact on the neighborhood,” she said.

…the $8 million plan is still largely unfunded, currently lacking the money for the replacement trees. And the residents are tying green ribbons around many of the trees saying they’re still viable and should be spared.

In response, I encourage Everyone to tie a tree-hugger to one of the listed trees in peaceful protest. We will be responsible for their welfare during this critical time of deforestation. Schedules will be provided for feeding and watering. Additional tree-huggers will be imported from the West coast and held in reserve should the need arise. However, I would prefer not to have a repeat of the 1994 Massacre in the Amazon Rainforest, during which the tree-huggers became loose and killed seventy-seven deforestation workers, wounded another 217 before they could be tranquilized and shipped back to the U.S.

Twenty-three tree-huggers are still unaccounted for and have been written off for tax purposes.

Where was Conklin earlier in the season? And hopefully the Pens can start winning games in their division!

Astronomers have discovered the Double Einstein Ring. I would have preferred they not find it this soon as they cannot possibly fathom Its meaning. We will discuss Its meaning and message when We next Gather.

Another cosmological view We need to keep an eye on is the colliding of the planets. More research and observation are needed to know if this is collision for which We’re supposed to be on the lookout. I cannot reveal more about it here, but as with the above, will discuss at the Gather.

The object, 2M1207B, has puzzled astronomers because its existence seems to defy physical possibility. Its temperature, luminosity, age and location do not match any theory.

That is what distresses Us most. Some of Our initiatives may have to be accelerated and others put on hold. Everyone must be at the ready.
