Well, it didn't take long for madness to ensue. Before you knew it, people were gathered by the dozens, group prayers were held, flowers, gifts, offerings and candles were placed... They even had to baricade it cause there were too many people and its a street tree on a main commerical street in town... as congested with people and cars this town is, that street lost a parking spot cause no one would move so the town painted the curb yellow and designated it a no parking spot.....

This was 3 years ago... Even then, when I was a believer, I was dumfounded by this cause it was JUST A WOUND ON A TREE!
at one point, the leaves on the lower branches even caught fire from all the candles.. SMH

Well, I stopped by this tree yesterday on my way to see my dad and was not surprised by what I found... The once healthy, vigorous (for a street tree in a busy area) tree, was now dead...

Take a look at the photos... the first is from 3 years ago when this first happened... The rest are pics I took yesterday...

What a bunch of superstitious twits.  Cave men were more intelligent.
