Interesting "bash" ...

The Forest Service has been marking trees on land surrounding our "farm". They started cutting one section. Not pretty, but it is good for the forest I suppose.

U.S. Forest Service
In tripling the acreage of U.S. National Forest land to more than 300 million acres, Roosevelt and Pinchot aimed to not lock away all timber, but to regulate the amount that could be harvested in a sustainable manner.

I remember growing up there was an old woman with a popcorn wagon similar to this first picture who used to set up on the town square on Fri nights & all day Sat & Sat night. She sold popcorn & hot peanuts for her living.

Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir.

Great hats... and facial hair.

I agree. Muir certainly knew how to wear both well!

Yes, and so did Teddy. He had a style all his own. Even in crowd shots, he always stands out. Remarkable personality.

I was just thinking that we should start a thread on "The best-dressed folks in history" or something like that. When you consider Teddy's taste in clothes, what with his excellent and utilitarian taste in hats, jackets, boots, etc., he could almost be our patron saint. I mean, look at that outfit he's sporting in the photo above. Perfect in its way.
