    Big Mama has died

    [ QUOTE ] I noticed lately at a website - think it was Save the Redwoods League - where the redwoods were referred to as "beings". For some reason I don't like the term, even if it might be technically accurate. Seems to connote the tree having a soul or something. [/ QUOTE ] Trees are...

    Cormac McCarthy The Road

    Sutree? i'll check it out, thanks. I thought The Road was very different to the epic Blood Meridian, suppose the main reason why i liked the Road was because McCarthy didn't shy away from describing what people really would be like in that situation. In the book the father and son would...

    Stratosphere Giant

    I've been to a Sillet lecture, he's an excellent communicator and one of the most enthusiastic scientists I've ever seen, he also seems to have a deep love of his work. Just can't see this guy trying to 'put himself on a pedestal'. In fact to even suggest it is total nonsense. At this...

    KIWI in the news - nice promo

    That was the best news item I've seen on treeclimbing/arborists, the program treated the industry with respect, unlike some other news companies who just want to make a big joke out it. Very good vid.
