Yup, Burlingame, and I’ll believe El Camino will be fixed when I see it.  Ironically the Eucalyptus trees were put in to break the wind. In any case, seems like non-native trees would be a weird hill to die on, but here we are.

I was interested to see the Burlingame proposal is to go back to the original mixture of elm and eucalyptus. Is there now an elm variety that's resistant to Dutch elm disease? 

When I was a child in Milwaukee some of our streets were still lined on both sides with tall elms that formed a beautiful canopy shading the whole street. Dutch elm disease of course was already a problem, and it wasn't long before most or all of the remaining elms succumbed.

The city planted maples on many streets. They were nice, but puny in size compared to the elms.

Glad the drum missed you.  You live a much more interesting life than I do.

And you tell great stories! Thanks jacket3ree and I'm glad you are okay!
