Oooh, cactus spines under the toenails, sounds like torture to me. :o

Thanks for getting it up and running, WM. Didja see the last CSI (Vegas) where some guy had a saguaro fall on him? Looked like he'd seen the inside of an Iron Maiden (not the rock group).

Oh, BTW, (pat, pat) for getting this section up and running.

Is CSI on YouTube? They don't actually show it (or I was watching hockey and missed it), just the aftermath. Story goes he was working for a landscape company and they were trying to move it without proper equipment. Personally, if I had to tackle something 5 times my size and covered in spikes, I'd pass. In my younger years I always ducked tackles when I saw them coming, or sat out. I got knocked unconscious twice and said something to the effect of "Touch football, my ***!!" Squamish is much more user friendly--but that's for Hoo-Ha & Foo, I don't feel like hijacking this one any further... :roll:

Guys will go dig saguaro in the desert; but somehow they all call from "private property"... when they dig them they blanket them as best they can and then ball them like you would a tree. Woe be unto you if it falls your way; a 100 year old twelve footer can weigh a ton.

They are even being [url=https://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/03/saguaro-national-park-cactus-cacti-theft-radio-id-chips-rfid.php]stolen out of state parks[/url]

Some folks are [url=https://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1216/is_4_217/ai_n26706686/]rescuing saguaros and other cactus[/url]from development...

So it's a big plant group with a lot going on; I am happy to see the new Forum and agree it was needed. Thanks Roger!
