You want to take the gloves off?

From the King of Kings of the East and West, the Great Khan. To Qutuz the Mamluk, who fled to escape our swords.

You should think of what happened to other countries and submit to us.

You have heard how we have conquered a vast empire and have purified the earth of the disorders that tainted it.

We have conquered vast areas, massacring all the people.

You cannot escape from the terror of our armies.

Where can you flee? What road will you use to escape us?

Our horses are swift, our arrows sharp, our swords like thunderbolts, our hearts as hard as the mountains, our soldiers as numerous as the sand.

Fortresses will not detain us, nor armies stop us.

Your prayers to God will not avail against us. We are not moved by tears nor touched by lamentations.

Only those who beg our protection will be safe. Hasten your reply before the fire of war is kindled.

Resist and you will suffer the most terrible catastrophes.

We will shatter your mosques and reveal the weakness of your God and then will kill your children and your old men together.

At present you are the only enemy against whom we have to march.

It's remarkable to think back to an era when a private business could just run a small factory out of a UW owned building.

Driving logs on the Bull River in the East Kootenays circa early 1900's. Notice the dog out there with them! This was not the safest job around, but these were very brave men. Back then rivers were used as logging roads. The practice has long since been banned for obvious safety and fishery damage reasons.

Back when the Throbber was just a wee lad, it was quite common to encounter tugs pulling massive log booms on the lake. They'd gather them up at the mouth of the St. Joe River and pull them over to the saw mills on the Spokane River in CDA.

A lot of times a stray log would escape and be left floating in the lake (deadhead). More than once, one of my two dads would crank the steering wheel and narrowly avoid hitting those fuckers.

Up on the St. Joe, the loggers would definitely do the log walk like the picture above. Crazy fuckers. That water is bareass cold until about mid-July.

CSB.

Next time on reflections of the Throbber, swimming in the lead-infested waters of the CDA River.

All that lead is what makes @PurpleThrobber such a nut jerb. His body is basically a N. Idaho superfund site.

The level of shit from the Anaconda mines that could make it's way down into the Columbia River is astonishing.

I've caught a shit ton of fish in the Upper Clark Form back in the day.

Wouldn't eat one though.

What've you got against Simpson's Fish?

That said, I think I got contact lead and copper poisoning just by driving through Butte, once.

The Throbber kept his wood moist.

that's the site of the famous floating green now.

The big sawmills were on the Spokane River.
