Today as I drove to work to help pay some taxes I passed a state park littered with tons of pine needles under the massive pines around the local lake. The needles providing a valuable filter to the rain that was falling.
Then I thought about the impending annual clean up that will remove all of that natural material in contradiction to the new rules for the states lakes.
I have decided to spend some time at the park tomorrow and get some before shots for what is sure to be a frustrating set of after pictures.
It will be interesting to see if the State feels compelled to follow the rules or will they find them as ridiculous as we do?
Maybe when one of us gets arrested for picking a flower without a permit, the pictures will at least give the jury something to laugh at.
