Some years ago we had record snowfall here - 200 inches in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan - and the government brought in the National Guard to clear snow (or, as David and I laughed, to shoot the snow). They had these honkin' big snowblowers that could (and in one instance, did) suck in a small car and spit it out chewed to bits.
They were painted camo.
It was only much later that we realized these machines are used for deforestation in places like South America.
I wish people would stop saying "issue" when they mean "problem". My sister once said that one of our brother's dogs had "territory issues". Dogs don't have issues - they have territory. If you overstep the bounds, you will not have an issue, you will have a problem.
