  1. Good as place as any to post this:

    On the topic of EV questions I feel I should know the answer to so I’m too embarrassed to ask…what’s the story behind the mailboxes attached to the trees by the flagpole in TSP?

  2. Are you referring to what I believe are bat boxes?

  3. I saw a discarded tree today on 6th between 1st and A, but I had my hands too full with my dog to get a shot. I thought I'd have a "winner" in the lateness derby, but, looking at this, apparently there's a whole crew of people who throw out their trees only at the start of March?

  4. I once chucked mine out my first floor EV window, a week or two after Easter. Looking back, (20-some years) by keeping it so long, I might have been as irresponsible as those who currently charge their e-bikes indoors.
