The trees have been castrated. Yeah!
Once per week from the time we first complained — about a month before I posted the photos — OC or I have contacted the office and reminded them that we have no choice where to park and so we fully intend to hold them responsible for any further damage to our car. Once per week someone has assured us that, “We’ll take care of it.”
Well, they have — finally — about two months after our original complaint, during which time the coconuts doubled in size. They were pretty much approaching full grown. We suspect other people had started complaining as well. However, our section of the complex was the first one visited by the tree trimmers so now — for a few months at least — we can park without fear of a coconut taking out our windshield.
I guess if you HAVE to live in paradise, there’s gotta be at least one downside.
a battle won, it seems
Falling nuts is one of the few problems we don’t have.
SN — well if there’s only one, then what should we consider the mosquitoes, the high cost of living and the overcrowded roads?
Polona — not really. They did it to protect their insurance, not to save our car.
Dr. John — what do you call all those people who strap blades on their feet then go out on the frozen lake and fall down, and fall down, and fall down, and fall down, and ….
one battle but not the war… it’s mostly nuts of a different kind that make life difficult
I beg of you, just for my entertainment, go by the office and ask them where all the coconuts went. Ponder aloud that you don’t know where you’re going to find your fresh coconut now.
Brig — I don’t think so!
I wonder if they are planting more trees elsewhere to compensate for the loss? You know… carbon offsetting.
