Tippers are more attractive to the opposite sex and their chainsaws always start on the first pull. The links are below. Thanks.

Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
(cut and pasted, I couldn’t say it better):
“But there is a big difference between clearing overgrown brush and thinning dead trees, and neither is the same as clear-cutting acres of pristine forest…
It’s a no-brainer to trim tinder-dry brush, which only needs a spark to turn into a wind-whipped inferno. Very selective thinning of trees and carefully planned burns also make sense. Clear-cutting does not.”

It was way more right-on of Trump to say it’s the forest -floors- that need clearing.
At least the articles were not written by the same person.
