Way Back Machine


Chainsawing and fire fighting were about the most enjoyable activities when I was working.  There was a city dwelling greenie that got into IL DNR in Springfield who started making policies.  One was that we had to document and justify any trees cut down on state sites, and also document that a tree was planted for every one removed.  What a pain!


It should have hit me sooner, but once a tree is dead, it is technically no longer a tree.  It's just a post sitting in the ground; so I quit doing the paperwork for it.  I never got called on it, and the troublemaker eventually moved on to another agency.


There was a lot of dead wood overhead on this one, wasn't there?
