The city re-planted some new trees in the neighbourhood. They are to replace trees destroyed in the ice storm 2 years ago. They wrapped these irrigation bags around the new trees. Apparently they are topped up with water to get the new trees started.
I was at the gym a few weeks ago and met an acquaintance. I asked her if she had booked her European river cruise that she had been planning. She said she had, but was concerned about the currently receding water levels on the Danube river. Apparently they are so low that the cruise ships cannot sail. They are in fact transporting people from port to port by bus! I told her not to worry and that it should be okay by spring next year when she is travelling. This conversation took place before the Paris attacks. Hmm.
