Mouse on the Street sees a man on his feet.
What did they say when they did greet?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Very few of the locals know about this small area of really big Douglas Firs. There are also a large number of smaller Redwoods.
This is the only big Redwood I've found.

Not my observation, but one which I tend to agree somewhat. There's lots of room for argument but it won't do s__t to save any trees.
On the way through Midpines today traffic stopped for tree removal near the highway. Everywhere you see decks of logs waiting to be hauled to the mills.
There aren't enough mills in the area, so they go elsewhere. The locals man the tree crews as sign-tenders and ancillary workers. Cutters and tree climbers are experts from all over taking advantage of the boom. The jobs lost to out-of-county mills is a shame.
The work is being done near the roads first as a sop to the tourist traffic hereabouts. It's too bad the pines are dying, but there's the opened-up vista, which means the forest will have a chance to regain something of what it was, but this is beyond my caring. Ain't whack-doodle I can do but watch.

A drupe, with a stone for a heart, like the apricots;
But someone will buy it for firewood,
Thereby causing a glow in their hearth;
And that cannot be measured in cords or lumens or watts.
