Having a car was one thing, but delving into its innards with a socket wrench was another altogether—exactly the sort of thing the crewcut-sporting squares back in the suburbs would do. In an age when complex technology was the franchise of big business and the builders of the H-bomb, being good with tools seemed uncool. But Muir’s folksy writing—and the counterculture-friendly art that accompanied it—helped turn the tide in reconciling hippies to technology.

This study showed that raised beds made from pressure-treated lumber do increase soil copper concentrations but only within 1 inch of the bed edge. The increase in copper was small — about 20 ppm above the level measured in the raised beds made from untreated lumber. This increase in soil copper concentration was minor, and even the highest copper concentrations seen within 1 inch of the bed material were well within natural range of copper levels for Willamette Valley soils.
Whenever Dennis Wilson wants to take a drive in his new SUV, he has to set aside an extra 15 minutes. That’s about how long it takes to remove the car’s steering wheel club, undo four tire locks and lower a yellow bollard before backing out of his driveway.
