His fire fighting clothes were pretty close to his beach wear.

By the way, the picture points points out that the roof isn’t the best place to store the driest fire wood in the area, when you look at those decades old shingles, thin and spending their life in the sun, it almost makes one cringe.

Those are all Western Red Cedar wooden shakes on that roof too.

Not too many fire prone places have wooden roofs anymore.

Did Nixon ever look young? He always looked like a middle aged man, even in his 20s.

Reminds me of the picture of Shostakovich standing on the roof of the Hermitage during the early days of the siege of Leningrad. He was later evacuated by air.
