Hahahaha, no you're not!  I do the same...  :)

I have been known to go argue with a tree cutter (or whatever they are called) to make sure they are just "trimming" and not chopping the whole tree down! :(  And you are right about the people seeking the shade to park under, and they are the same ones asking to cut trees so leaves don't fall and dirty their cars - *Grrrrrrrrrr...!!!*  Yes, there are ridiculous people like that here... 

Besides are trees beautiful just to look at even if they don't value the shade they provide (which they should anyway...)  Lol, see.... I do the tree thing too! ;)
