Am I tacky?
Thursday, March 18th, 2010
One man’s folly is another man’s wife.
Simply put “good taste” is in the eye of  the beholder.
So, what do you think of this?
Maple syrup producers are under fire for tapping maple trees in Central Massachusetts cemeteries. The Worcester Telegram reports Monday that at least two cemeteries in Lancaster and one in Petersham have sap buckets on trees that stand along side rows of tombstones. Athol Public Works Director Douglas Walsh said a recent investigation of tapped trees in Chestnut Hill Road Cemetery found that the culprits were neighborhood kids.
In Lancaster’s Old Settlers and Eastwood cemeteries, the Lancaster Cub Scout Pack 9 tapped trees as part of a project after receiving permission.
But Lancaster selectmen said they didn’t know cemetery trees would be tapped and they received several calls about it.
Walsh said tapping trees along roads is normal, but in cemeteries it’s “a little tacky.”
Tacky? Or not?
I think not.

Not tacky at all. This is what the USA is all about. Finding an untapped potential and making money or in this case maple syrup. Now some smart “Scout” needs to market it right…something better than what I came up with. Lancaster’s Deadmen Pancake Syrup???
