This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A few years ago, this large pine tree feel near our property. I got my chainsaw out and began cutting it up for firewood, starting at the top. When I got to the top of the trunk, it started to move. I stepped back and watch as it stood back up. A large rock was tangled in its roots, providing a counterweight. It's now our flagpole.

And this, kids, is the reason why you never stand at the bottom of an uprooted tree.
