    I went to Red Pine camp for girls in Minocqua Wisconsin back in the late '60s and we had a log that we used to roll in the water you had to stand on and run without falling off! I got pretty good at it too!
    This story brought back some great memories

    When I was a kid...my family went to a lumberjack festival and I watched my Dad climb up that pole...faster than the other men, too. So much fun.

    They are called lumber carnivals for a reason. No Mention of Oregon? That seems odd.

    Cue Monty Python's gay lumberjack song (please cut down the remaining trees. Not like we need them).

    While we were doing this the Chinese were developing better AI. Different ways to focus our future, I suppose. Best of luck to all of us!

      Well, we have MAGAs who think that a cultural rollback to about 1955 makes sense.

    • @tomgrams2333
      @tomgrams2333 Год назад +2

      It's a sport! Like all the others WE do while the Chinese are doing whatever they do. Has nothing to do with going back to 1955. Look at all the sports competitions there are: besides foot, basket, base ball, soccer, swimming, la crosse, curling, skiing, skating, card game tournaments, bowling, golfing, pickleball, tennis, badminton, croquet, cricket, etc etc.....
