I'm ticked because Dominion Virginia Power is planning to cut down all the Crepe Myrtle trees in my back yard, leaving me with a total of one Silver Maple tree in the front yard.

See the power lines they are endangering in the photo below?

I'm sorry. You have to pull back a bit to see the power lines.

Remember that time a group of crepe myrtles grew into major power distribution lines and caused a massive blackout?

Yeah, me neither.
