Don't recall ever seeing or working with Eastern Red cedar. Does it make good lumber?
And I know all about the kid in the candy shop feeling,. I have been milling for a long time and I still get all giddy and warm and fuzzy inside every time I get into a really nice log..
'Then you have to ask yourself who is pulling Trumps string and who interests are they serving, because none of this makes sense if its all about America first. Massive civil unrest and the possible upending of America as we know it, and the economic destruction that would surely follow. America...
The last words that Renee Nicole Good said to the ice agent a few seconds before he put 2-3 rounds into her face-
"It's fine dude. I'm not mad at you."
The first word the ice officer utter seconds after killing her- "fucking bitch"
If I didn't know better I would swear the ICE thugs have orders from Trump to incite civil unrest so Donny can declare martial law and cancel the midterms..An election that could see the Dems take both the House and Senate setting up the very real possibility of impeachment, conviction, and...
Wow. The republican led Senate actually stood up to the tyrant. It is mostly symbolic, but right now we will take a win no matter how small.

I will touch on your points-
#1- One could look at the genocidal, violent, greedy, racist history of Canada, add in your culture of extraction, and come to the conclusion that Canadians are generally a bunch of genocidal, violent, racist, snow loving heathens who in the name of greed are...
I can see your still on your moral high horse while you sit in your glass house insulting your neighbors to the south by proclaiming that Americans are "mostly a bunch of cowards who only care about their own bag". If that weren't enough you proclaimed that American culture is violence, greed...
And just like America Canada also continues with its atrocities in the name of greed and violence. Are doing anything about Canada's global mining industry (45%-50% of the worlds mining companies are headquartered in Canada ) while you sit on your moral high horse casting stones in your glass...
Stones and glass houses bro. Canada had segregated schools until 1983 for gawd sakes.
Against Black Canadians
Slavery: Chattel slavery was legal in the French and British colonies that became Canada for over 200 years. Enslaved people, both Indigenous and African, were considered property...
I guess you missed the part where I mentioned the need for the global community to resit the madness Trump is inflicting around the world...But thanks for your very harsh generalization concerning the character of the American people..
I have to believe that a large majority of Americans are not OK with the cruelty, lawlessness, and utter insanity that Trump is inflicting on the US and the world. Will we the global community have the fortitude to truly stand up to this fucking madness, or will we curl up in a complacent ball...
Before I Read The News
I press both hands
to my chest, then
look at the trees
and the road outside.
I imagine the world
beyond what I see,
cities, continents, space,

to open.
I listen to what is here,
attune to the silence
that holds up all sound.
Feel my heart beat
against...
Trump's bullshit may work on his cult members, but.....Trump and his DOJ had to retract its fraudulent claim that Maduro was the head of a fake cartel...
I loved HTP until it started getting very baggy on me after some serious use. After that it was relegated to light duty rigging line, which it has excelled at due to its durability.
And once loaded up the knotability is gawd awful...
I am also feeling like 2026 is gonna be a good year...
