TIMBER: Memo to enviros

The rain has come and we can once again see the mountains from whence comes our smoke. The environmental foolishness has come home to choke us.

What we have been blessed with from God — an abundance of forest and wood products — to provide for homes and untold uses, is now and will continue to decay or be smoke in our eyes. The policies that have stopped the road building and minimized the use of our forests is ludicrous and will be one more memorial to the generations to come of our foolishness.

For you “environmentalists”: May the smell of smoke forever be in your nose and the generations to come forget you were our countrymen.
