Follow up to the woodstove thread. I cut all my own firewood, but for those that don't, particularly those close enough to buy from the central Mass area, please DON'T buy or transport any wood originating from the affected area.

This beetle thing is scary. Think Chestnut blight or Dutch Elm that isn't species-specific. Has the potential to pretty much ruin all our ways of life.

Wow! Scary scary stuff. And I swore off reading the news lately. Another thing to worry about.
