Cutting Down Trees

Stunned; as I ran along the roadway...the same roadway I ran by last week. Instead of a shady walkway – stumps. Not a branch or leaf remained.
Some of these stumps were 15 inches in diameter – shaved close to the ground so no one would notice. But I did. I counted each one…
Shame on you City of Eugene for cutting those trees down.
