"Currey had already suspected that Prometheus was over 4,000 years old" -- but he cut it down anyway??!!

It's like these guys 130 years ago cutting down the Giant Sequoias in California.

I’ve read years ago that those skinny lumberjacks needed/required 10k calories per day to work and not starve to death. Most of those calories were beef fat from boiled beef and drippings mopped up with bread.

Me: I heard a wild rumor the human race isn’t evil and beneath contempt. Turned out to be a hoax.

Believe those are redwoods. Sequoia had little commercial value except for matchsticks.

Indeed money isn’t always perfect; mistakes are made.

My Dad was sent from Alabama to Northern California to a CCC camp as a helper felling Sequoias.   He and his buddies would make the springboards to allow the fellers to get high enough to cut through the trunk.   They wore neckerchiefs like the Boy Scout uniforms.

That was a little less than 90 years ago.
