Some counties in Michigan (Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee) don't allow nurseries to sell ash trees and you are not allowed to put them in your yard. Our county also has a local firewood law. We have a lot of campgrounds and canoe liveries near us and you can either buy wood there, forage in a local state forest or buy from private sellers within the county (the 14 yr old boys LOVE this law, they have stands at roadside in summer--so much for lemonade!) BTW, the USDA would probably never allow lemonade stands now.
I'm conflicted about the mustangs, because horses have not lived in North America since the Ice Age and the ecosystem changed over time. If I were to release a herd of Asian elephants in California on the grounds that mastodons once lived there and they are a symbol of the prehistoric era, I would be called crazy.
I will miss the yellow pages. I find it much easier to simply look up the local pizzeria's number rather than rely on the computer. What if we're out of power and that's why I need pizza?
I also miss my "dumb" phone. I don't need to take pictures and I dread the day my daughter becomes a teenager, wants a cell phone and takes inappropriate pics of herself ...
And in 10 yrs when she's a teenager, there will probably be a worse trend out by then.
I will clutch onto my VCR, kicking and screaming. I love old cheesy sword-and-sorcery movies and most of these are so bad that they will never be on DVD.
