As a huge “homer” for my new “hometown”, Rancho Cucamonga….or is it Altacucawanda? Anyway, I want my brothers and sisters in Upland to know that I bought this tree in your “gracious” city and you are welcome for my sales tax dollars. You bring me such great entertainment with your never-ending news tidbits, that I just wanted to pay it forward a little bit.

[I'm sure they'll appreciate your, er, positive attitude, Bob! -- DA]
