"Poems are made by fools like me"
The shame of Surfside is the butchering and killing of our trees. There is no covenant or actions that can justify this obnoxious practice. Shame on those who do this, and shame on us for allowing it.
Trees
By Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

OH, so George is the Anonymous "Shame on you" poster that appears regularly on this site? Shame on you George.
Clown. It's like you walk into george's house (blog) and start mouthing off like you own the place.
Hey Bozo,It's an open house, why don't you just mouth off.
Shame on all of you
Mostly plagiarized from the famous Joyce Kilmer poem with no credit given to the author. Shame. Haven't you noticed that some of the anonymous comments contain the same spelling errors that the blog host always makes?
Sorry, a second look does reveal that Joyce Kilmer is given credit for the poem.
for shame on you jumping to conclusions!!!
Excuse me. How exactly was Surfside responsible for the trees that were murdered on George's property line?
I have kept ALL of my trees within the limits and ALL of my trees are still alive and have been for over the 12 years that I have lived here. There are no stumps on my property or my neighbors. The Host can make all the poems he wants but he cannot make that same claim.
Have you noticed that content is more relevant than spell check?
No, your self involvement blinds you to it.
Keep mouthing off. Stupid is as stupid posts as you've been told before.
Good for you. you little syncophant! Im sure Williams will give you a gold star.
Hey, looks like Mouthing off guy is back!
It's interesting when anonymous comments ridicule others for being anonymous. George can say whatever he wants on HIS Blog, and can sign them however he wants. But you make a mistaken assumption that he follows the dialogue in detail, which he does not. He is not as fascinated by your words as you are.
It's also baffling why this Tree Policy continues, Olds and her committee wanting to spend about $26,000 on surveying and tree cutting on Surfside properties. Trees were planted aerially to anchor the sandscape of the westside, and make the properties more appealing to buyers, who were NOT buying westside property. 30 years later the HOA was demanding owners top their trees.
The cost and ultimate destruction of most of the trees planted, has begun to cause great wastewater complications and flooding in Surfside. Such stupid policies created in a vacuum, always have unexpected consequences. This obsession needs to stop. The new "shed-roof" restrictions are another example of useless rules that are intentionally adversarial for no positive gain for the community. They create conflict without rational need.
Never left. Waiting on you.
If you are going to make an accusation you should know your facts, 11:34. It was the Arch committee and Raymer pushing for the survey not Olds and the tree folks. In fact they suggested asking those properties if they had a survey done and knew where the prop lines are instead.
10:09 you need to check YOUR facts. It was buildings and grounds and Ms. Olds that are pushing the expensive survey. Read the minutes of the meeting before you make an ass of yourself.
Congrats, you got me there. I meant the B & G committee, not Arch. Still doesn't change the fact that it WASN'T the tree committee pushing for it. If that makes me an ass so be it. Nice keyboard warrior stuff there brave one.
Let me respond in kind while continuing the body part references, you're being a dick.
If you care so much as to cast blame, you will find that the B&G Committee was only reacting to Ms. Olds pushing. She is the primary instigator behind it. Damn the budget, full speed ahead.
Damn the rest of the membership, and fly that special interest flag proud! To hell with your neighbors, if they oppose, narc them off!!
And we actually pay for this??
Sorry Dick, attend the meetings and you would know you are wrong. Raymer was the one pushing for it. To keep incorrectly saying it was Olds doesn't change that fact.
Have been to every B&G meeting. Only outsider to show was Ms Olds. So you must be on the Committee. But wait, you didn’t know they were handling the survey. Your comments are of little credence.
Sorry, still more credible than your false statements, dick.
Not really. You delude yourself, as usual.
