Entry #1605

LonetreeTrivia (5 Biomes points): What’s significant about this Norway spruce tree?

The LA Times has an article out about how tip-dependent workers are getting squeezed in this Bush-ravaged economy (via Waiter Rant). I don’t work for tips, but my business is definitely way down from the past few years. Nobody has spare cash to spend.

Sadly, No! gives us some straight talk about gas prices.

A food company has its annual report printed on paper that must be cooked before it can be read.

This pool in Chile is the world’s largest.

Is this the oldest tree on the planet?

is it growing in a desert?

it looks a little lonely out there is it the most remote tree?

The water level once reached the point where the full bracnhes begin?

The oldest tree on the planet is a bristlecone pine in California. It's called Methuselah and is 4500+ years old.

Can I guess the Norway Spruce pictured is the southernmost Norway Spruce?

I'm going to guess it's growing above the tundra line, where trees ain't s'posed to grow.

No tree growing further north?
