Speaking of Megaloads

Long-time readers know the background to this story. For others, you may want to check this link first.

As far as I know, moving "megaloads" across Idaho and Montana caused absolutely no environmental impact; they were moved at night and caused minimal problems for traffic.

Take a look at the photograph on the front page at the LA Times today. 

But for some residents in South LA, the excitement of the shuttle rumbling through their neighborhoods quickly faded when they learned that 400 trees will be chopped down to make room for the behemoth.

Just a bit of irony for faux environmentalists. So 400 trees will be chopped down for movement of the space shuttle. 

It will be decades before the new plantings reach the stage of these beautiful trees coming down. But paraphrasing Ronald Reagan, once you've seen one magnolia, you've seen 'em all.
