Life on the Edge PT 1

7:42 a.m.

Already this morning I’ve taken two chances.

Moments ago I threw the dregs of two types of coffee into the brew machine without measuring amounts.

Result - surprisingly delicious.

Now I’m showing you a close up of a piece of BC cedar and asking for help with a math/mantel question.


["Be careful. I lost my place and started over three times!": photo GH]

Approximately how many years of growth will be seen in my 8-inch wide fireplace mantel?

And if you like that question, try this one on for size. If the cedar had a diameter of 4 feet, approximately how old was it when it fell, or was felled?

Where did I get the slice? Tune in tomorrow.
