No argument on the trees here. Oregon is very green and beautiful and very diverse as far as that goes. It's some of the people, the ones that tend to land in government or elsewhere influential that want to run everyone's lives and are allowed to do it that gets to me. I'd like a little more sunshine during the winter months, too, but I think both are pretty big ask. At least the rain contributes to the beauty, while the others do not.

re: protected

As I said, a lot of Oregon is like that, and were it the local people making those decisions, I'd at least know that it wasn't a decision being made by a federal government that only seeks control. Land ownership. That's a whole other topic for another day.

re: turkeys

Yeah. I don't know what happens if you stand your ground with turkeys. If they're like other animals, kicking the one through the goal posts may have made you their leader. Then you could be king of the turkeys! :)
