Josh and Mark start a two-part episode on the lumber....or timber? industry.  Something that goes invisible to most people but is a crucial aspect of life in the 21st century.  From building materials to common household products, we are nothing without trees.  In Part 1 they dig deep into the history of lumber as well as provide background info for next week's episode where they focus on the pandemic and the lumber shortage.  Mark celebrates a birthday and Josh warns that the tin foil sombrero will be coming out next episode.  Wisdom of the Week "We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality." - Ayn Rand.  APES and APHUG come together once again.
