BTW, I get it and don’t fault you for it. We all have our preferences. I just have some bad history with deserts and the idea of living in one is upsetting.
But, god damn do I hate the bajillion pine needles in the gutters, in the pool, and on the cars ever day.

When we bought this place it sat empty for 2 years and all the vegetation was dead , except for a few rose bushes and 2 pine trees (both of which were in the weep field of the septic tank). When I had it all ripped out they asked me if I was sure about the pine trees. I grew up in eastern NC where the fucking pine trees grow thick as weeds. Hell yes I was sure about it.

Nutcases around here and other places in the southeast gather up longleaf pinestraw and weave/make stuff out of it. Looks incredibly tedious. I do see some bales of the stuff for sale from time to time. No idea how they gather the shit and make use of it. As the name implies the needles from it are very long, as opposed to shortleaf pine. It burns well.

big thing when I was in SC was people on the side of the road selling baskets & such out of that and leaves of palmetto. They thought they were Prada for the prices they charged.Nutcases around here and other places in the southeast gather up longleaf pinestraw and weave/make stuff out of it. Looks incredibly tedious.

When I was younger, it always irked me a little that the flight attendants never actually inflated the vests during the safety briefing. I thought we needed to have some idea of what it was going to be like, but young me knew that they would be running through those demo vests like crazy if they did that so I understood. Then they started showing videos of the briefing and it irked me even more why they didn't go ahead and inflate that ONE vest for everyone to see. Not even just with the pull cord, but even when they demonstrate doing it manually they always put their mouth close and fake blow into it. Why won't they show us the real thing? I have since pulled the handle on a life vest and now I know what to expect. The first time I did it I cut myself because the string is longer than you'd expect, I wrapped it around my hand to give it a second pull, then when it inflated it pulled back and sliced me open. I was like, see this is exactly the kind of shit people need to be aware of. I still don't understand why when you're filming someone doing the briefing they can't inflate the vest, deflate it with the tube then reinflate it so we can all see what it really takes.
Now they're doing that shit with animation and the fucking animated characters are still fake pulling the handles and fake blowing into the tubes. Maybe this is an effort to cull the stupid.
