Pursuant to last autumn's posts about buckeyes - right now it's oak tree sticky mess season. The oak trees here have several endemic diseases and infestations. About the time their canopy finishes growing, they start raining a mist of honeydew. But then now around the start of high summer, the flowering process is all done and the acorns start, and they also have an infection that makes larger drops of sap from the nut buds. All in all it's a gross mess. I happen to park my truck under one and it's an irritating mess. Fortunately it rinses off. When riding under a row of trees along a street I can feel the drag. It's like stepping out of a dried up puddle of Coke, but continuous instead of intermittent
