DEVELOPING: Limbs Removed From Toomer's Oaks

((HT: WTVM-TV Columbus))

It was an eventuality more than anything else...

Full disclosure...

TBH is an Auburn grad, as is her entire family, and they get physically ill when having to recall what Harvey Updyke did to the oaks at Toomer's Corner on the Auburn campus over a year ago...

Now, against all hope they had, crews have started to remove the more dying limbs from the oaks as they make the slow processional to eventual death and removal.

Here's the early story from the Corner...

Auburn University released a statement: "While long-term decisions about the trees have not been made, fans are still welcome to gather at the corner this fall and continue the tradition of rolling the trees with toilet paper."

The larger story, now, is what has been the delay in the prosecution of Updyke- other than the standard legal system delays. Here's to hoping that the two timetables will be a little more intertwined from now on...
