Apr 28th, 2016: Delaware Home
Look at this Delaware home, Isn't it lovely? Looks are deceptive because it's a really big home.
Big home to some who belong in the Big House. Quote:

The firm I work at does patent litigation, which is a federal issue in the courts. And the suits often wind up being in courts where one of the companies is based. We have a bunch of trials regularly held in the District of Delaware and have for years.
Sometimes a trial requires a jury. I wonder how residents of Delaware feel when they get called to serve on a jury for a case involving one of these corporations? I'd be curious to see the statistics on the number of cases in D. Del. compared to other Districts. Do Delaware citizens get stuck in boring corporate trials far more often than citizens of other states? Are there so many that if you live in Delaware you are pretty much guaranteed that at some point you'll be sitting on a boring corporate case? |

That place must get a LOT of mail!
Just the number of reported companies, 515, on Trump's FEC filing boggles the mind. I wonder how many Bernie has. |

515, but only 378 in Wilmington.
Oh, I have a question nobody has been able to help with. What are those trees with the little white flowers in the spring. Everywhere around here has them, especially along streets and malls.

I don't think Dogwood or Bradford pear, the flowers are much smaller, tiny little fuckers in clumps.

I was leaning Bradford pear but some crab apple have white flowers as well. Bradford's thrive in urban environments.

The more pictures I see, the more I think you're right on Bradford Pear. I read they're supposed to be sterile, so no fruit which would suck in the urban areas. But I keep reading they're fragile, prone to losing limbs, and splitting trunks because of the way branches cluster around the trunk. That would be a real pain in the ass in cities, as that's where most of the parking is, and everyone knows cars are more important than trees. Trees drip paint eating sap, drop paint scratching twigs, shower shine dulling pollen, shed HVAC plugging leaves, provide runways for feathered poop machine air forces, and homes for bushy tailed tree rats.

The architect only wants a quick grower so they can sell.

Yes there are, but that's the big one as I understand it.
But more importantly, are they Bradford Pear trees?

They are! lol. My cousin bought the house from our other cousin who bought if from my grandmother after my grandfather passed away and my grandmother came to live with us in DE before moving into the home my aunt/her daughter built for them to have her live with them. Ha!
