You reached an old tree hugger. The feeling of the rough bark is almost as good as hugging the layers of fur of a Malamute.
And there once wasn't a tree that I wouldn't attempt to climb and get into its highest branches. Fortunately, though, not having to escape the unbreathable air that sometimes blankets our world.
