never been to spain...

...but I kinda like the music

The Whistler Tree in Portugal is the most productive cork oak on record. It is nearly 220 years old, is 45 feet tall, has a 15-foot trunk diameter, and yields more than a ton of raw cork per harvest—enough to make 100,000 wine bottle stoppers.

aah, nature's bounty knows no bounds. It's self-sustaining, it replenishes itself. It's ours for the taking! Timber, oil, coal, fauna, gems, ore; it's all ours!!
