My neighborhood minus the white soft sand and oceanfront. Those guys who trim the very high palms annually are not cheap.

My neighborhood minus the white soft sand and oceanfront. Those guys who trim the very high palms annually are not cheap.

So, here's my odd question of the day. Do kids in your area get to climb palm trees? I would think it would be difficult, as there seems to be no lower branches (unless it's a newer tree still growing -- but then, the height of the tree would be too short to bother with). I was just thinking about when I was a kid and we'd climb maple trees, for example (lots of different sized branches, etc.--great for climbing).

It is basically impossible with no limbs to hang onto. The high palms in the Miami area for example have coconuts so at times they just fall onto the ground. Some of the migrants at times sell in the back of their old pick up truck " Coco Frio". The guys just put a hole in the coconut , give you a straw and you drink the sweet coconut water from the coconut for a nominal fee.

It's possible . You just need a strap to loop around the trunk.

Have you ever "borrowed" rope and an old tire from your dad, to make a rope swing, hanging from a big tree branch? That was fun, too!

nope. it was rope and a stick . We were not posh enough to have tyres.

Oh, I get it -- it's no wonder, then. Nobody knew what the heck you were looking for, because you asked for tyres, not tires!

Don't you get tired of speaking wrong ?

First of all, I don't take criticism from a raccoon.

I speak perfect English, and can SPELL correctly, too!

Not me.

Oh my goodness! This must be why I was thinking of you yesterday while I was at my in-laws' house, thinking it had been a while since we heard from you. What a cutie! I want to snuggle him!

So soft and fluffy
