Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's really sad but being surrounded by people with agendas can be interesting. Most of the time it's just plain frustrating, so when some bonehead does something or is trying to coverup something and I discover the truth anger not contriteness is the usual response. My agenda? Simple get to the truth, provide the correct solution and not allow those who guess to spread their guesses like it is gospil.
The other day was a good example. I was told of a problem, instead of just agreeing I investigated. The more I probed the more I got" let me tell you whats going on" and " your theories ". Not to bore you with the rest. The sure sign of advanced bull shit is that the bull shitter doesn't stop talking and the more you probe the more they talk and then talk turns into threats. In a few days the apology will be presented, I know it's disingenuous and is more bull shit. The bull shitter will think that I am stupid and have now believed his bull. The truth is what I seek.
So what does this have to do with trees, plenty. The need not to guess on a problem with trees is critical. If you start believing your own bull shit after a while you'll think it's the truth. Never stop probing for the truth, the answer is usually not just lying around near the surface. Telling people it's overwatering afterba week of rain, or wind burnt after a cold winter ( and it's really just natural seasonal browning) is a disservice and just prolongs the findings the true cause and real solution. Snap answers services no one.
