The Pulp Drive

The summer after I graduated from high school I worked for Scott Paper Company on the pulp drive on and around Moosehead Lake in Maine. Moosehead's East Outlet is the head of the Kennebec River which is where all the pulpwood in this video wound up. The paper mills were in Waterville and Winslow, across the river, upstream from Augusta aways.

This whole process ended several years after my summer experience. Most of what this video shows happened in the spring but it took the entire summer to finish "picking" and sluicing the pulp.

Pulp wood in the Scott drive was four feet long spruce and fir, nothing else. Booms of pulp were towed across Moosehead Lake to the East Outlet by the Katahdin, a ship which now has its home in Greenville. I once spent an entire day "picking pulp" in Spencer Bay and then the entire night on the "Kate" towing the boom about 12 miles across to the East Outlet.

The tools of my trade that summer were the pick pole and the pickeroon, both manufactured and sold by the Peavey Manufacturing Company located on "the Airline" - Route 9 - in Eddington, Maine.

Anyway, here's what was involved:

In God's Image - What If

A crazy thought just came into my head. Let me quote myself:

"Man was created in the image of God does not mean that God has an image.

It means the image He sees of man in His imagination.

Basically, all of God's creation is by definition His imagination."

Conspiracy Theory or Conspiracy?

It is common for claims to be made that the mainstream media is propaganda.

It is also common for those claims to be denied.

So explain this:

Cybertruck Bomber

I rarely listen to NPR but I heard a news broadcast from them on the radio this morning. I don't recall any mention of the information that Alex Jones of Infowars revealed yesterday concerning the Cybertruck bombing suspect. Go figure.

But by the sound of it, this is what the American people need to hear:

Tucker - Straight Talk about Israel and the Middle East Wars

This video is nearly two hours long but if you want to understand what's happening in the Middle East, this might be a great place to start - since virtually any other mainstream source is just propaganda.
