"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay / I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch / I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping / And have buttered scones for tea
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay / I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump / I like to press wildflowers
I put on women's clothing / And hang around in bars"
We're 89 percent sure Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song" won't be included in Peter Reid's lecture Wednesday night at the Olympia Timberland Library. Reid, a member of the Schafer family, will show recently restored films of 1926 logging operations of one of the largest lumber businesses in the Northwest. After the 45-minute film, Reid and Barbara Seal Ogle will talk about their just-released book, Schafer State Park. We are 94 percent sure the two speakers would enjoy seeing you dressed in a plaid flannel shirt, some old jeans and boots, snapping suspenders and yanking on a fake beard. That's OK!
SCHEFER BROS. LOGGING FILM AND BOOK SIGNING, 7:30 p.m., Olympia Timberland Library, 313 Eighth Ave. SE, Olympia, free admission, 360.352.0595
