INSURANCE woes. I understand that many property insurers are upping rates or canceling insurance for fire and flood issues and they seem to be excused for it, Gotta make a profit!!! I however have none of those problems save for some repainting issues and PEMCO just cancelled me for that reason. This despite having been with them for near two decades with no claims either by car or property. I am stunned that insurance has protestations about paint which can be dealt with come summer or fall. NOT now with snow and freezing weather. APRIL cancelation.

"Red, Brazilian flowers called Hypenea macrantha use projectile blasts of pollen to knock rival pollen off of hummingbirds’ beaks and replace it with their own, researchers report in a study to appear in the American Naturalist. If a male flower can send a hummingbird away with more of its own pollen and less of its competitors’, it increases its chances of siring seeds in the next female flower the bird visits."

With explosive bursts of pollen, male Hypenea macrantha flowers knock some competitors’ deposits off hummingbird beaks before the birds reach females.

Rich homeowners are cutting or poisoning trees for a better view and even better profit. Weak fines won’t stop them.
