But in the last few years hydraulic, gasoline and electric log splitters have replaced much of the manual labor. The result: people spend more time relaxing by the fire than before.

There’s a lot of condemnation on athletes when guns charges are involved and rightfully so. However when a professional or collegiate athlete is ejected from a game, they generally go back to the locker room and whine to the media about how unfair it was. The English have made obtaining and owning guns very difficult which I do not have a problem with whatsoever, but when they eject a professional soccer player maybe they should make it mandatory that the player remain at the stadium.
