john vaillant, the golden spruce

« Most trees [at that time] were felled with an ax…

…Dozens of manufacturers, competing with hundreds of styles, had elevated this  humble implement from a mere tool to a potent, even sexualized, facilitator of manifest destiny. Model names were often an ax’s only distinguishing characteristic. And many sound like they were dreamed up by the same ad agencies that promote motorcycles and firearms today. Climax, Demon, Endurance, Cock of the Woods, Red Warrior, Hiawatha, Black Prince, Black Chief, Battle Ax, Invincible, Triple X Chopper, Wood Slasher, Razor Blade, Stiletto, Forest King and Young American were just a few of the choices. »

      listening to audio book explains such snipets as follows...

« The fool sees not the same tree that the wise man sees. »

         William Blake, Proverbs from Hell

         Opening chapter 8,

« Spirit of the atmosphere who had himself born. »

         Or the Big Bang theory, Haida style.

« A few fries short of a happy meal… »

         How one is quoted as describing a man who seems not mentally all there.
