A Tale of Two Trees: Behind the ugly American are the two trees of my parents house. The one on the left was planted by the city when I was a kid to give the street a "canopy." Wauwatosa did this for every street back then. The pine tree on the right is a relatively new addition. When I was growing up there was a mountain ash tree there with some little orange berries on it. Those berries were fun because a) we could whip them at each other and b) robins would eat a ton of them, fill their bellies, and stumble away unable to fly. This was our entertainment, because my parents refused to (and to this day still refuse to) get cable.
