Two Inch Forest

Miracles amaze me. Her left eye is lazy. She looks so Israeli. Nicotine and gravy. Waaaaaaah! So about them trees. I don't know why, but trees have become a subject of great fascination lately. Trees are pretty amazing and I can't explain them. Basically, they're made out of wood and I'm pretty sure they're the only things made from wood. Secondly, they're huge. It's the huge part that has me going. How did they get that big? I'm sure they must have evolved from much smaller trees but that would have been like millions of years ago. They got those petrified wood pieces from dinosaur era 60 million years ago and those trees were probably huge too. So it would have millions of years before that when they first started out doing the tree thing. Can you imagine what it was like at first? I can. It must have been like a 2 inch tall forest spread out over the continent. 2 inches! That's nuts! I'm guessing, but still. They couldn't have always been hundreds of feet tall. So back then, in the days of the 2 inch forests, could you have 'chopped' down a tree and gotten actual wood out of it? It probably would've been like a toothpick. Did those tiny trees have bark? They must have because what else would they have...I wonder if there were tiny deciduous and coniferous trees...like was there birch/elm/maple etc? That would have been so cool. I bet there were tiny microscopic animals that lived in the 2 inch treetops and they must have been crazy looking creatures that you can't even imagine. The problem is that this time-period I'm talking about is so far back I can't even begin to imagine where all the stuff is now. Like we know dinosaurs turned into oil and stuff and sometimes bones got left behind in places, but the time-period I'm talking about is almost unfathomable. Those tiny animals probably evolved into bigger stuff and eventually dinosaur size. It must have taken a helluva long time for dinosaurs to evolve into giant monsters. Trees have really seen it all. I'm almost in disbelief concerning how big trees are today. Those are some giant plants. And they all start from a tiny little seed. Man, life can be so strange. I wonder if humans will ever be able to construct a working seed. Like from scratch. I wonder what kind of pieces you need to make a seed. Probably some celulose and carbon or something. Then, when the seed goes in the ground, it just lives off of dirt and water and sun light. Must be something really good in the dirt for that to happen. So basically, wood is made from dirt at least a little bit. I just got an itch. I think itches happen when new cells are trying to squeeze their way in between the old cells. Cause you can never see anything that would cause an itch and it definitely causes some kind of reaction and feeling. Then when you scratch it, you are moving the cells around so it makes room for the new one. Unless you have a specific itch producing stimulus like itching powder or a rash. That itching powder was nasty shit when I was a kid. It didn't itch so much as it burned and hurt. Man, that was no fun.
