It’s a long-lived species, with 400 years considered a rough maximum. Working for a tree service in the Adirondacks in the...

Just a spot of fun to open our discussion this week. I did think about last week’s article quite a bit. Still confident that I did the right thing. Hopeful that some of you watched Bones and All as well. Forging ahead. At this...
