I drove past this old barn – featured here in April – yesterday and it was reduced to just a small pile of wood. The home in front of it still stood but they have begun to remove parts of it too; soon it will be no more as well. I wonder who got to keep all of that old barn wood?

Hooray for man modifying his surroundings yet again. Why do I feel like the Lorax now?
