Maybe if he didn't keep so many books

Sproutin' wood for Ryan Gosling

I live in a forest, which used to be open farm fields when I was a kid. I'm actually trying to remove a bunch of trees, because my father didn't manage our property at all, except to mow a little bit of lawn around the house. It's gonna take me years to clean up my property and restore it by myself.

And yes, I'm going to keep most of the trees, but they need to be properly trimmed and maintained. They've grown in so thick, a lot of them don't get sunlight and are dying now. I just had one fall on my garage a few weeks ago and thankfully didn't cause serious damage, but it's so deep in overgrowth, I still can't get to it to cut it up and remove it.

I started asking for people to donate to organizations that plant trees for my birthday/Christmas gifts. I must have over 300 trees at this point

  1. I asked for them to plant as many trees as I was old that year. A few years and a few people doing that each year adds up quick.

Wouldn’t this imply that the nth best time be 30 years - n + 1 seconds?
