Thinks roadside tree eating machines are uglifying, too

Comments re photo 41426 Columbia Courthouse from Tim Lee Carter eraGlora Anderson writes:
I got quite a chuckle out the referral to the "Uglification" project. Put me to thinking that some of those fellas offspring must be around running those tree eating machines that make such a sight of the trees along the roadside. And I am sure some of the less intelligent offspring are some of those that create the unsightly litter mess. I won't go on like I probably could here. But thanks for the chuckle. I have a new word to make use of now! - Glora Anderson
The tree chewing machines - and worse spraying - do leave terrible ugliness in their wake, whether used by the road departments or the utility companies or individual land owners. It's ironic that governments spend money on tourism promotion and often a similar amount on herbicides and uglification applying the tourism funds to to keeping the roadsides clean would have done more for tourism than any media hustle, billboard, or logo or acronym could ever do. There must be a better way to trim roadsides. Can someone come forward with a solution. Personally, I never like any roadside more than one mostly left alone, its shape fashioned by passing vehicles.
