You Need a Thneed

There is a giant tree clearing machine churning it's way through the woods near our house. Not the woods directly behind our house, but southeast of here. They're clearing enough space for something like 6 houses, so the Lorax machine is roaring and belching all day long right now. Sounds like a monster. I feel like a deer or something whose life changes forever the day that awful grinding sound came. It's usually so quiet out here in the country. I predict we will see a dramatic increase in wildlife in our little woods in the coming years as all that habitat is cleared away for McMansions. Boo.
