Redwoods on Highway 17 and 280
I though it was unusual to see logging trucks in our area. Then when the logs became a daily sighting on Highways 17 and 280, I wondered if perhaps some big redwoods had been removed one step ahead of a wildfire.
Actually, the trucks are part of a logging operation taking place on private land (160 acres) in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
As I strolled out one evening within a small cafe
A forty year old waitress to me these words did say
I see that you are a logger and not just a common bum
Because no one but a logger stirs his coffee with his thumb
