This is not how you want to find your ride (a Subaru Forester believe it or not - chop chop! That’s what foresters do, right, chop down trees?) after you park right next to a giant aging Blue Gum Eucalyptus tree in the Golden Gate Park Panhandle.

Ben Davis-wearing members of Laborer’s local 261 + giant Swedish buzz saws = problem quickly solved.
Excepting for Caroline’s Subie, that is.
The City crew failed to leave a note, but I think the driver will figure things out for herself after seeing the flat tires and all the sawdust.
Just another foggy day in Paradise…

Nice, thanks
Cool article
It’s true, the trees *are* out to get us. Have you heard about the triathletes that got treed in Sonoma County?
