That's not nothing.
That's better than Wendell's great uncle did.
I don't know what's out there.
I don't want to know.
I'm writing this down because if you ever get offered a job cutting timber on private land in the North Main woods, and the landowner tells you there's a spot you can't go near, I want you to take him seriously.
Take him really seriously.
Ask him the distance.
Double it.
Triple it.
Don't cut a stem within a mile of whatever he's telling you to avoid.
Because some landowners up here are telling you the truth.
They've just been telling it for so long, and so carefully, that it doesn't sound like the truth anymore.
It sounds like a weird family thing.
A superstition.
An old story.
It's not.
It's a rule.
And the rule is there because people died making it.
Don't break it.
Say hi to Eli.
