    If I were selling something I would make it look better than that one, with a blanket behind so it can't be seen sitting out in the brush. I suppose it is OK but it just looks crappy.

    Well, cow manure is just fertilizer but if people are flushing old prescriptions it could possibly end up in the tree I would think. It probably isn't a big concern, I'm just being overly cautious.
