              @jon-nyc the HOA rules must be interesting.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                            Wiki: "In the 19th century and up to World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared the land of Israel of its natural reserves of pine and oak trees, in order to build railways across the empire. Since it was founded the JNF (Jewish National Fund) has planted in Israel more than 185 million trees creating 280 forests, and still operates today."

                                          He is an airline pilot now, I haven't seen him in years. I wonder if he carries it as a backup.
