I do not understand why folks would plant #HorseChestnuts as #StreetTrees. If we are going to have spikey projectiles falling on people's heads, could we at least choose the non-poisonous variety?

What's really nuts is: they don't just let me paint the lanes. Tell me the functional difference between a painted line and some meat occupying a space? [I stopped at ~1min here because somebody lost their sweatpants in the street. (yes that's a bracket, not a parenthetical)] #BikeLaneSweeper #pdxBikes #ClimateAction #resist #HorseChestnuts #punctuation

Das Kind hat mir gestern was gebastelt ... Und so beginnt die Jahreszeit des Taschenausleerens vor der Wäsche, um diverse Kastanien und Eicheln abzusammeln // Kiddo made me something yesterday ... And so begins the season of having to check every pocket for random conkers and acorns before laundry

Picked up a few shiny #horseChestnuts including one that fell while I was standing at the tree!
One of the most common older street trees in our neighborhood is the horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). A tall tree with branches that sweep down to the ground, ithas white flower panicles in spring and clusters of horse chestnuts in fall. The fruit is a green spiky capsule with one or two nuts. These have a rich reddish brown colored shell, and a white fruit that is toxic to everything except squirrels.
