September is early autumn, where the leaves have begun to turn yellow in Central Park. Even the air has sometimes touched 10°C, I have used the coat because today is quite cold.
He had already come first on this already cold autumn night. He smiled at me as I sat in front of him. Why for so long he looks more attractive, I think it's true said Alma Master it looks manly in fact. Or maybe it's because my brain has been influenced by love hormones for a while. So I started to think too far about this guy.
"You been a long time?" Seeing it here is fun, unfortunately at this time I can only get it as a friend. Yes that's enough for now. He was always there when I wanted to share the story, it was sweet even if we were nobody, it was not beneficial for him but he did. That's something new to me.
"Not five minutes. It was pretty cold today."
"Yes. But my day has been great, I haven't recovered from the euphoria of getting a new project these few days. I've had a lot of work these days."
"Don't get too tired, take your vitamins." If he said that while embracing me it would be perfect. My mind expects more, but this is what I get now. "What project did you get so excited about?"
I immediately told him about the project I had enthusiastically and he listened to my story seem to be happy.
"How about you, the campaign is almost over, you have a lot of problems to deal with."
"No, it's taken care of by another team of lawyers, but in this campaign many new people come in from among entrepreneurs. Some kind of way to make a lot of new connections for company lawyers. So there's been a lot of dinner lately, rather than the case itself. Because of my principle if I could I would avoid killing each other in court to solve my client's problems."
"Ehmm makes sense. Peace is better than war."
Someone called me later. It's my father's friend who gave me the renovation of the rest house he just bought.
"Allison, I just got the information said you charge extra to clear the Japanese Knotweed 200,000 dollars?! What kind of creature can add 200,000 dollars in home improvement costs, for God's sake are you talking plants?!" He was mad at me because he thought I should just chop up that plant called Japanese knotweed and the problem was over. But this is so different.
"Uncle let me explain to you what Japanese knotweed is..."
The Japanese knotweed I found in his newly bought resting house was a voracious weed that would grow endlessly and very quickly if left alone.
It exploits weak areas in building structures if left unchecked, causing damage to hard surfaces, blocking waterways and exacerbating cracks in building infrastructure. He can even grow on the sidelines of ceramic joints and fencing cracks, walled in worn concrete, penetrating cracked asphalt.
Below the surface of the ground, rhizome roots can grow as far as 7 meters and up to 3 meters deep from each Japanese knotweed shoot. So that even he can appear on the inside of the house. If left unchecked he will be able to grow as high as 3 meters and form a dense bush that kills all other plants.
Exterminating it needs hard work, can not by cutting the top, because if you cut the top of the roots even more fertile spread, even the root system will form new shoots elsewhere.
The only way is to dismantle the root system and inject a special herbicide, and it can't be a year at least 3 years of repetition, only then you don't see a single bud coming. The cost is also expensive between 4,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars depending on the severity of the population that occurs. So you can imagine if he crept near your house and appeared between your kitchens illuminated by the spring sunshine.
"Uncle, according to my people the previous owner added to the problem by always chopping the plant makes the roots more fertile and your spacious garden becomes a nest of knotweed. That's even the surveyor figured we'd have to dismantle the side of your house and make a pond drainage repair because it turns out that a creature named Japanese knotweed already destroyed it."
