About Chain Saws.
We spend a lot of time living in the woods. As much as 7 months a year. The rest of the time we are in the desert. All of the old time woods rats I know get on my case because I don't carry a chain saw. All of them have stories about how they were trapped "deep in" when falling trees blocked their path.

Gloria and I have seen trees fall. No wind, no ice, nothing obvious to cause the fall. One tree hit another and both fell. They did block a road, but not the one we were about to travel. It does happen. However I still do not have a chain saw. Slow learner I guess. Karma being what it is.....Now that I have talked about it, I REALLY need to get one.
