look around and marvel in God’s beautiful creations.

I do! I see trees that once cut down give us homes, furniture, toys, warmth from firewood and paper, lots and lots of paper.

I see this dead tree and envision all of the above............now lets get the darn thing off the path and move on!

Let me ask this: if this was a prime Texas steer found dead in the middle of the path, would you be so sad about its passing and engaging in an online conversation on how to deal with it or would you be thinking about a bar-b-que?.....

If the steer in question had been living for one thousand five hundred years I would be equally wistful. I hate to use that word because I find the word itself annoying (kind of like "whimsical", which about makes me puke), but that describes it best. Anyhow, there ain't no way I would eat a thousand year old muscle; I imagine it would be pretty tough.

Although some on this thread would have you believe I worship trees as gods or treat them as human, that is not the case. I just think that the passing of a thing that has been alive that long is something rare and unusual.

I also think that most humans are idiots and incapable of appreciating the magnitude of anything being able to live for over a thousand years. Their tiny brains are just not able to comprehend anything being more important than beer, sex, and taking a good crap.

It is much more fun to be a sarcastic asshole and make fun of anyone who finds something that old to be an awesome thing.

As to the aspirin thing, I suppose I could be like some on this thread and call you an idiot for not knowing what I am talking about, but I won't. One person can't know everything.

Thank you for your service.
