Yep. I've shoveled 'hog fuel' as a teenager. Functional steam powered lumber mills are rare, but leave a smaller carbon footprint.
but then, I've also shoveled other hog related products... :(

I learned that the Russian monarchy stopped calling themselves Tsar during the reign of Peter I and was changed to Emperor. So any "Tsar" after his reign was actually not a Tsar but Emperor. Many Western European monarchs declined to recognize the switch in title. To them the word emperor connoted superiority over kings. Several rulers feared that Peter would claim authority over them, just as the Holy Roman Emperor had in the past. This cultural biased may explain why many documentaries in English refer to the emperors after Peter I as Tsar. Or lack of caring about the subject's own cultural perception.
So the last Russian Romanov monarch wasn't Tsar Nicholas II but Emperor Nicholas II.
