[pct-l] Re foxtails vs bristlecones and other cosmic issues

[Ed.Welter@nike.com (Welter, Ed)]

Yeah, I saw these two publications over at the local Barnes and Noble in the
hiker section right next to the 3000 page "Tasty Corn Pasta Recipes".
NOT!!!

...you might read two of H.E. Suess's works on the subject-- "Bristlecone
Pine Calibration of the Radiocarbon Timescale 5200BC to the Present [1970]"
presented in that year to the Twelfth Nobel Symposium held in Uppsala,
Sweden and published; and the record "Bristlecone pine wood of the past 8000
years based on the dendrochronology (read: tree ring counting) of the late
C.W. Ferguson" contained in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society
of London, vol A 330 pp 403-412.  War tree-huggers.
