Isn't it funny that it seems that the moderator of that enviro site is getting a belly full of the Whacko's?  :D

[Jeff]

I read this today :D... ... :D

"had to get some firewood and found a great tree so i backed my rig to it and fired up the saw. cleared some ropes away and pile of trash below it. started cuttin and i keep hearing some noises up above but i figure its just after effects of canadian beer or maybe some magpies. then come some forest service guys and even a sheriff and they keep pointin up at the tree. i tell em to back off and wave my saw at em. i sez i know its a G Dam tree and its mine so bug off. i start cuttin again and they keep yelling about a freakin moth or a butterfly or somthing so i wave my saw at em again and they back off. all the while these cashews and almonds are fallin from the tree and even a granola bar hits me on the head. i thought it was a big doug fir but maybe its a hybrid nut tree - no matter - the tree is startin to lean so i stand back and one of these would be tree thieves sez there is a luna butterfly or something up there on a platform. i give the guy a shove and tell him the dam butterfly knows how to fly and if he wants my tree he's gonna hafta come thru my saw to get it. im gettin really *pithed now. so after all this distraction i get the
tree fallin and they are runnin around as i'm limbing the tree and fighting them off at the same time. i finally got em to go to the top of the downed tree and tell them if they want they can have the dam branches. so then they back a freakin ambulance up to the top and start sawing a few branches and then take off with sirens wailing. they musta just wanted the top which is stupid and a waste too. if that was an elk it woulda been wanton waste and they would have to write themselves a fine. lucky i was there to use the rest of the tree. people like that disturb me. I got my wood and went home and had a BUD. "
