Nobody writes all this. Nobody was ever interested in writing *paragraphs* on the internet its so dumb
In 2011, my family bought sixty acres in Potter County, Pennsylvania. The listing said most of it hadn't been touched since the thirties, and I took that as a selling point.
That October I was clearing a tractor trail when we dropped a huge dying hemlock near a sinkhole at the back of the property. When the trunk split, the cross-section looked wrong. Most of the rings were even, but the ones from the late sixties were lopsided and crushed to one side, a crooked band running seven years deep. After that the rings went back to normal.
I'm not a forester, but I figured the tree had been sick, so I called the county extension office. A man named Gil Fenstermacher drove out that afternoon. He photographed the stump, measured it, and asked exactly where it had stood.
Then he looked at the sinkhole for a long time.
"Don't cut anything else around here," he said. "And don't disturb the ground until I get someone else out."
I was annoyed. We'd paid for that land, and I assumed he was one of those people who think every old tree is sacred. I told my wife he was probably padding his report...

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

I’m going to start describing the Electoral College as DEI for rural voters so that people want to get rid of it.
