Some birch trees look like they have some weird skin condition.  What’s wrong with a good, old oak?  If it was good enough for the European settlers, it should be good enough for us.  How do you think they got in touch with the mother country to let them know that they arrived safely?

Anyway, how did you do with 1.71 of your arms tied behind your back?
