For fifteen years, this 200' wide power line property was a good
neighbor. Had some small hills, a copse of trees every 100 yards or
so. One could watch the hawks making a nest and see an occasional
bunny hopping about (no doubt that's why the hawks chose the
neighborhood).

People rode their bikes, played softball, or just hiked or jogged
down its length.

Then, late last year, the power company came through and ground up
all the trees. They didn't chop them down, they had a stump grinder
gizmo on a big-ass boom that they raised up and turned the trees into
flakes from the top down! Sterilized the field, they did.

I'm a ****in' STOCKHOLDER in Centerpoint (the power company). I
called and raised more hell than the third monkey on Noah's gangplank
while all this was in progress and was told the company was REQUIRED
to cut down the trees by the Department of Homeland Security!

Bunch lying slugs, you ask me. Not even Homeland Security thinks
terrorists grow on trees!

They are doing the same thing near me, it has to do with keeping
the power grid safe. It's not the power company's rule, they are
forced to do it. A crying shame, I feel badly for the people affected.
