Loggers and Lumberjacks

These days most people use the names loggers and lumberjacks interchangeably. However, in Whitethorn we used to call men loggers when their job involved cutting down trees. Men who worked in a sawmill, where the logs were cut into boards, were called lumberjacks. Whatever the case may be, a waitress in Eureka recently told me they were both "dying breeds" because of the tree sitters. She didn't sound happy about it.
