got our tree yesterday and put it up last night. immediately the room filled with the heady aroma of fresh balsam. just because maine is at the bottom of the forbes list of states for job creation and economic opportunity, doesn't mean you can't get a decent christmas tree. in truth, this might have come from canada because those fanatical environmentalists get their shorts in a twist if anyone mentions cutting down one tree within the pine tree state's borders. even if we were sitting on a century's worth of crude, there would be no way it could ever be drilled. state officials spend wasteless time getting kids into college to train for jobs that don't exist and never will as long as this practice continues. so all of you who dream about the idyllic life in maine can let that dream go. the only people who live that kind of life here are those who earn their money elsewhere....like martha stewart, john travolta, tom selleck and their ilk. ok, off the soapbox....i'll dispense with my inner scrooge....god bless us everyone!
Gotta vent somewhere--here is as good a place as any. I think I can smell the tree from here!
ReplyDeleteI got a great big chuckle out of your rant, Grace, because it sounds like me over here in New Hampshire. I'm definitely believing that extreme environmentalists are doing us all great harm. But with that gorgeous tree, you are NO scrooge!
