		Creosote Bush, common name for five related species of bushes of the evergreen family.
		An individual creosote bush can live for up to 100 years, but the crown of the bush also splits into several lobes that eventually bend over into the surrounding soil and develop their own roots and branches.
		Because these new shoots are genetically identical to, or clones of, the original bush, the spreading plants may be thought of as still constituting the original one.

	The cholesterol in your stovepipe can be fatal by D.B. Frandsen Issue 36
		Creosote is the fl substance, usually dry and flaky, but in some cases liquid or goopy, that collects on the lining of the chimney or stove pipe, restricting the diameter of the flue.
		Creosote is formed from the condensation of organic vapors, tar acids, and water which escape when full combustion is not achieved.
		The magnitude of the deposit depends on the density of the smoke and fumes and the surface temperature of the stove pipe or chimney on which the vapors are condensing.
