"Here Mary is with Kathy Follett, at a post-pignic photo-op,
proudly showing
                off her tree. Judging from the size of the trunk I think it
is a good thing
                it missed her car."

                There seems to be an opportunity here with the manna-like
arrival of all this lovely maple wood. Do we have any suggestions of what to
do with something so clearly associated with BP, and with great good luck.
Wooden bumper ftickers? Hand carved rabbits feet?

                We could do a fund-raiser to offset travel costs from the
Yukon and Australia.
