Here's me thinking you can ferk off
Not all of us have an autumn
Indeed. We have a load of dead trees though, thanks to the worst drought in 60 years. They reckon the city will lose 66 million trees this year.

Is that how many trees there are in town?
Don't trees go dormant in times of drought?
The city has around 660 million trees. Normally they cope but we're 30 inches of rain behind where we should be this year and they're just falling all around us.
Is a million the same in the US as it is in England? I can't imagine a city having that many trees?
I don't know where you live (a rain forest?) so I've used London.
1 acre holds 500 trees
london is 607 sq.miles
640 acres in a square mile
London = 388480 acres
times 500 trees
= ~ 195million trees (no buildings)

I'm referring to the Houston metropolitan area which is huge (well over 5 million people) and very green, or brown, right now.
If you look at Google earth it'll give you an impression of just how green it is (was)
You may well laugh!
It was half a joke but the yanks do use different numbering systems from Europe (though I think we are now changing). I think it was because they didn't use latin so much iirc.The American system is:
10^06 = million
10^09 = billion
10^12 = trillion
...
The European system (formerly used in Britain, still used in Germany)
is:
10^06 = million
10^09 = thousand million
10^12 = billion
10^15 = thousand billion
10^18 = trillion
10^21 = thousand trillion
...
Well its sad anyway if trees are dieing.
