My old friend John, of Eugene Oregon

sends me this, knowing I made Melbourne my home.
Email letters to the trees?
But who reads them?
I guess they’re posted on some website, for all who care…
Max in Seattle

> I just heard a nice piece on NPR about Melbourne. It seems that, given the drought etc., the city has given every one of the trees there an email address, to which people can write letters. The result is some delightfully funny and poetic emails, but also the planting of a large number of new trees.
