LOGS - YOU WANT LOGS!?!
I GOT YOUR STINKIN' LOG'S RIGHT HERE!!!

I've got so many palm logs thrown at me all the time.
It's sad that I tried to actually carve one and it was so hilarious I had to dig its face out and use it as a planter.

Artistic Talent - ZERO

But I got logs...

We have so many palm tree logs down here in the Lauderdale area too. Many are still in front of people's houses waiting to be taken away. Every time I see one I say to my wife "that would make a great tiki." But, alas, I also have no artistic talent whatsoever!

Idreamoftiki - I feel for you and all my friends who are still renting. I bought my house 5 years ago for just over $100K and now houses in my neighborhood are going for nearly $300K. I could never afford my house if I were buying it today! I am going to have to move eventually because we are going to have a second child and need more room. Even though I'll have the equity out of my old house, when I buy another house, the higher real estate taxes will kill me! Right now I pay only $1500 a year. If I sold my house and bought a new one, my taxes would triple! I would be so out of S. Florida if my whole family didn't live down here.
