Yes indeed. And it's funnier even than that. You see, I really was a
logger. I worked on high lead logging shows for the better part of
four years after I dropped out of high school, and before I went off
to save the whole agonized future of this planet, every man, woman
and child on it. I humped snares, pulled rigging, chased and even
hooked a bit. I also drove a brakeless fuel truck in the bush and
worked for a while on a drill rig blasting logging roads. (Now the
criminal cult can Henson me.) I worked in camps on Vancouver Island
and Harrison Lake in B.C., and a number of other car-and-crummy
operations, all yarding the big west coast trees -- Douglas Fir,
Hemlock, Cedar, Spruce. I'm pretty sure Hubbard wouldn't know his butt
from a bull block.
Oh, and yes, I thank Xenu for Hubbard's being a pathological liar,
because if he'd only told a few lies I might still be in that criminal
organization and still slaving away to make Scientology work.
