As I understand it the EPA, DEQ, etc have raised all kinds of hell over logs salvaged from the bottom of the great lakes as well.
*ping*
Agreed.
I grew up in the town where these two guys live. Your basic logger, who may be an idiot like any city slicker, will never be proud to take welfare.
These two guys may be a log short of a load, but they are workin' and loggin'
Those old submerged logs are worth a fortune. Probably some kind of special license required to harvest them. Government always has to have its tribute.
THANK GOD we are saved from that catastrophe by our government!!!
What will the do with the ‘siezed logs’ and exactly how much is it costing us?
I worked in a sawmill for a while and that can be awfully dangerous. As it was explained to me that we were working with “Un Engineered” materials and there is danger inherent in that.
I was working in a safe zone once and ended up with broken ribs because of a log that got bound up and shattered. I was just lucky that it hit me flat instead of pointy end first.
One of the most dangerous places in the world is between a bureaucrat and his need to justify his job.
A bureaucrat will move heaven and earth; he will sacrifice anyone, anything, in order to justify his job.
Oh well, thanks to Robwin for the ping.
Say WA? Evergreen State ping
Quick link: WA State Board
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.
Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.
It has also be said the position between Joe Biden and a TV camera is pretty dangerous.
Why are loggers idiots?
I remember when the History Channel used to have shows about history.
Can’t have the little guy trying to make something of himself. Why, if he succeeds he might inspire others to do the same. If those people then try and succeed themselves; it could spread like a virus!
The .gov fish redistribution racket would come to a screeching halt.
Right the hell on llevrok! Evidently the parasites (Queen Christine and her winged monkeys) didn't get their cut. GDworthlessleechbastardF'ngovernment.
Harvesting deadwood is a meritorious activity. Good grief, those guys out in Seattle are crazy. As if we didn’t already know that.
As for dangerous, two of the most dangerous professions are logging and fishing or lobstering (at sea).
Stimulatin’ the economy, one family business at a time...
After watching that show, I don't think the son is going to be in business with is obnoxious father much longer
Because they work with their hands and bodies instead of pushing paper around! /s
I did not say that loggers, in general, are idiots. I said that these particular loggers are idiots.
You didn’t even say loggers, you said ‘these people.’
Amazing how quick some are to imagine things you didn’t say and then insult you over it.
And I agree, they’re hamming it up/behaving foolishly for the cameras and that is by definition, idiotic.
