O, Sweet Saint Of San Andreas

Those idiots need a nuke dropped on them.

the price of kowtowing to Gaia.

The difference between a wild bush and a non-wild(?) bush is?

"The difference between a wild bush and a non-wild(?) bush is?"

Waxing

To bad that logic and commons sense are extinct when it comes to our betters. Aren't we all happy and accepting of the fact that our hard earned dollars are spent on worthy projects like this for the betterment of society as a whole?

This surely deserves another prayer...

RaughKee: Congrats - you win quote of the day.

The idiot who okayed this project deserves a Darwin Award.

All for the wont of 10 cents worth of chainsaw gas....

That is one precious bush. I hope someone names it "George".

$200K to move a shrubbery.

The Knights Who Say Ni were not available for comment.

Done in 4! Congratulations RaughKee, on the winner.

You are just mad because you did not get the contract.

So they're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to save the sole survivor of hippie trampling. The irony of that...

Just wait until someones dog pisses on it.
It will drive the enviro-PETA crowd nuts.

Raugh Kee, that counts as waxing eloquent...

"The difference between a wild bush and a non-wild(?) bush is?"

$205,061 by my calculations.

Now in order to prevent potentially dangerous interest in this transplanted shrub, it's location must be kept secret.

The shrub is now in the Witness Protection Program.

San Francisco was settled 200 years ago. Do we really know that someone never planted it some time in the past? Idiots.

I had to stop reading this Hippy BS before I returned to Hippydome. Yeuch - the memories of my youthful stupidity make me ashamed.

I left my shrub

in San Francisco

I tried - really, I tried - to finish the linked article, but after about the bit about $7k for genetic testing, I gave up.

One can only absorb so much stupidity in one day.

And I agree with many - RaughKee wins the thread.

RaughKee rules!

California......explains everything.

I want to start a company moving shrubberies in San Francisco. At $100k a shot I could retire in a year.

BTW, just for perspective $100k is about what it costs to build a two bedroom house if you don't count the land cost. No granite kitchen though. :)

The land surrounding the Presidio of San Francisco was a barren, sandy hilltop until the United States Army developed the area into a lush, park-like environment. Nothing on the Presidio is indigenous.

It was one of the most beautiful posts until it was turned over to the National Park Service after the closure of the military base in 1996.

I lived there for four years when I was in the Army. All around the former post they have signs berating the Army for "contaminating" the area because they had the audacity to have a landfill there.

The Presidio has the only cemetery left in the city - a veterans cemetery overlooking the GG Bridge.

You should escape while you still have a chance. Between the Mexicans and the wing nuts it's only a matter of time before the fence is moved north and east. When even the porn industry is getting out, its time to plan your getaway.
