   My first job (other than pin jockey) was cutting down pine beetle infested trees in the Black Hills. Same sort of Hype there. I guess we won cause there are still pine trees there. Couldn’t happen today though, I wasn’t even in high school yet.

     GEE! I wonder if it has something to do with variable weather patterns?
