This sadly reminded me of the disastrous idea Senator Ted Stevens had a few years back to start logging Birch trees to use as an alternative fuel source. "There are lots of trees, and they grow back... so it makes sense."

Dumbass.

But then I smiled because today he was indicted and now my only concern is what we may rename Ted Stevens International airport to.

I see on the list of artists:
The Larch and the mighty Scots Pine.

The photos of the artists at work are whimsical -- nice perspective.
