"It is a tragedy that our $inators didn't move on this bill last year after GW presented it in Medford and Portland."

You are so right. Some of this devastation could have been avoided had they listened.

"Of course then who really cared that Oregon burned for months. There was minimal national tv coverage versus the coverage the LA/Riverside/San Diego Fires got."

To be fair, we didn't have as much personal destruction. However, had the media paid attention to the possibilities then, SoCal wouldn't be in the fix they are now.

"I have had more comments on my old bumper sticker re blaming the envirals for the fires of 2002. One guy who has seen it for over a year, said last week, now I finally understand what your bumper sticker really means."

That is awesome, Gramps. That, alone, makes it all worth it.

I have worked with this guy for over 3 years, and he is finally seeing the light re the envirals. He is a hard working conservative and owns his own business. He has had a blind eye and deaf ear when it came to any reality about the envirals.

The next time we get together, I will find out what exactly changed him. A lot of people up here in N. California had relatives or friends or both in harms way in those fires. Reality like that wakes some people up.
