Coneis20 Superspreader

    We don't have a pine tree on our property anymore, but the storm brought pinecones, hundreds I would say. They were deposited in the driveway, on the deck, and on the lawns on all 4 sides of the house. 

     The pine tar or whatever is extremely sticky. I picked some up and when I tried to remove the sticky residue from my hands, soap and water would not do it. Hand lotion worked somewhat better, but I had to resort to butter to finally free my fingers. There is a tall pine tree out in the back hinterlands, but it has previously kept its cones to itself. Those in piles are  only a small fraction of what remains.
