today i had an argument on the balcony of clarke hall 2nd floor balcony on the side facing the road. i was with my friend mike and i commented how only this balcony is covered from site by trees. we then started talking about what trees that last all year are called as i wasnt sure of the term evergreen but i was almost positive that deciduous trees go dormant in winter. my friend duncan called at this time and i posed the question to him hoping he would randomly know. he wasnt positive but was almost wiling to bet that year-round trees were called residuous and didnt know the other term. knowing he was wrong i called my dad, sure that he would know. it turned out that deciduous trees go dormant and evergreen trees stay alive all year, yet they use less energy (he just had to add that in there along with some other boastfull landscaping knowledge). this wasnt that exciting but it was the only real argument of the day.
