Ooooo, look a Pub’s Note with pictures!

Well, I went out of my way today. Spent some time taking a few pictures. Worked real hard at making sure I got good ones, with real sharp detail.

Why, you ask?

So I could share with you my absolute horror and dismay at the stupidity and cruelty of some pathetic, probably totally-clueless, individual.

You see, I was walking down North Third Street the other day, minding my own business, admiring the hookers (kidding.) When I happened upon a wonderfully laminated poster for a Health Fair.

My only problem with the poster was that it was NAILED TO A TREE. NAILED. NAILED WITH GALVANIZED NAILS, SO THEY WOULDN’T RUST, NAILED.

Wow!

That really blew my mind. Was this person wearing their brain the day they took out the hammer and nails and went pounding their Health Fair posters up on innocent, unsuspecting, shade providing, oxygen generating trees in Midtown Harrisburg?

So, maybe I was a little pissed.

The question now becomes, "Scot, why didn’t you take the poster down if it bothered you that much?" Well, my pea brain told me that if I removed it, another would probably take it’s place quite quickly.

But seriously, I am planning to take it down, don’t worry about that.

I would just like to say one thing. I hope anyone else who sees an atrocity like this would do the same. I’m not ordinarily a hippie granola tree-hugger, but this really blew my mind. There’s a hundred surfaces, including telephone poles this individual could have nailed this poster to, but they chose a tree... for a Health Fair poster. Arrrrrrgggggg!

I figure that the Zion Christian Health Center knows nothing about this, yet. And I’m sure they’ll ask their congregation and volunteers who may have done this. They’ll probably say that the guilty individual doesn’t have to speak up, only please relocate any other posters they may have inadvertently crucified (uh) affixed to a living, breathing, tree with somewhat expensive nails.

I’m sure the guilty individual will scratch their head, and under their breath say, "What’s the big deal, it’s only a tree for God’s sake".

Exactly.

I’m sorry to be so harsh about this topic, but here’s a truly ridiculous
instance that a little common sense could have averted all together. I hope everyone has drawn something from this message.

Read on. It’s good for you.
