@doctorow When I left c. 2006 or so, a lot of logging was of beetle killed trees. Winters were no longer cold enough to kill the mountain pine beetle winter larva.

Very excited to acquire an important early eye tracking instrument. AFAIK, this was the first attempt to move the camera from a stationary position onto the subject's head.
It was developed over the 1960s by Norman H. Mackworth and E. Llewellyn Thomas.
