Weak housing data over the past couple days have taken mortgage rates to the lowest levels seen this year and almost to the lowest level ever.

HELP!
We have a 40 foot Pin Oak tree in the back yard. The tree is full of galls (knotty wood balls). The squirrels are chewing on the galls and causing them to crumble all over our patio and yard. This is also causing braches of leaves to fall from the tree. So many branches are falling that we are filling up an 1/4 of an 80 gallon trash can within two days. Does anybody have any suggestions how to remedy this?

p.s...the squirrels are also eating my tomatoes...
