Thanks for the bump, Dave !!

[dixiechick2000]

Thanks for the ping and the update.

I saw pictures this morning of the kids camping trip. In most of the pictures you couldn't see the other side of the lake bacause of the smoke.

Thanks, also, for the sat. photo. At least the coast has cleared up!

I've been here ten years. I don't remember the forest fires being so numerous then. It seems to me that it has been getting worse for the past 5 or so years.

Coincidence? I think not...

[dixiechick2000]

GREAT BUMPERSTICKER!

Good job, EBUCK!

[EBUCK]

I've located a printer willing to do it (you wouldn't believe how many of them didn't want my business because of the content, OTOH, maybe you would). I think I'm going to have around 100 done and see if I can break even.

EBUCK

[Grampa Dave]

Okay you Oregonians, time to help EBuck pay for these stickers.

I will buy a few even for Kalifornia. Of course no one here will know where Oregon is, thanks to the great school system we have.

You guys and gals know who your fellow Oregonians are who feel the way you do. You need to buy these for your vehicles, your relatives and friends in Oregon.

Buy them and get them out on the bumpers while the enviral fires are raging.

It is time to put the responsibility in the laps of these enviral scumbags.

Great Job, EBUCK!

Can you imagine the impact if several hundred thousand of these showed up on the backs of working men and women's vehicles all over Oregon.

Everywhere that POS enviral poster boy governor goes, he should be greeted by a Freep with some Freepers with these signs.

[dixiechick2000]

Let me know when (or if, heheh) you find a printer. I'd love to buy one from you!

[Grampa Dave]

Blackie buy some of EBuck's fire enviral stickers for your pickup. They will go good with your NRA bumper stickers.

[Tailback]

I've already been notified that my name is near the top of the list for the next round of National Guard callups if the fires continue to get worse.

[EBUCK]

I've got the printer lined up, I'll be heading out that way after work today. I'm going to start with 100 or so, I can take a loss at this level, and if that goes well I'll probably do them up in batches. Also, if anyone has a local sticker shop we could all save shipping money by getting them made locally and distributing them locally.

If there are any changes you folks want made now is the time to speak up, i.e. ...the 2002 fire season (generalized, without "Oregon" on the sticker for you CA/AZ folks).

EBUCK

[Grampa Dave]

He is safe right now (as far as I know). He needs to be aware of how fast these fires can spread. Grants Pass gets very warm in the summer time and is far enough inland to become a a tinder box.

He needs to keep an eye on the Biscuit Complex Fire in the wilderness area of the Illinois River/Cave Junction Area. That is SW of Grants Pass on 199. It is burning out of control as there are basically no roads into that Druid Super Heaven, the Siskiyou Wilderness.

That area west of Grants Pass, has a lot of timber and a lot of timber/brush and other tinder boxes created by the eco facists the past 8 years.

He needs to have a couple of escape routes planned out. Like going north on I5 or south on I5 if there aren't fires there. If I lived in that area, I would head to the coast for the next week or so. He can check out 199 re the Biscuit Fire or go up I5 to the Drain exit and head for the coast. Bandon, Port Orford, Gold Beach and Brookings are very nice at this time of the year.

People in that area should keep a case of bottled water per person, granola bars and other snacks, sleeping bags, a weeks change of clothes, any medicine they need for a week or so in their cars/trucks/suvs with family treasures ready to go. Never get below a 1/2 tank of gas. Flashlights with spare batteries and a portable radio that runs on batteries for news should be part of the summer package this summer.

If he has respiratory problems, he should just go to the coast until this phase is over.

Good Luck!

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe you can have two files. One with the Oregon stuff and one without a state for us Kalis and other states.

Freepers across the nation can greet the burn arsonists of the violent eco groups as they go from city to city on their green terrorism tour with these stickers as placards.

[Grampa Dave]

You stay safe.

You might want some of Ebuck's stickers for your vehicle and your peers if you get called up. (I can just see those stickers on Guard Vehicles going to and from the fires this summer!:))

With your rank and MOS, I would think that you would be a priority call up.

Your personal page shows that this is not the first time that the enviro whackos have impacted your family and you!

[Tailback]

Actually I've managed to stay away from fires the whole 10 and change years I've been in the Guard. I did get called up for the 96 flood though. In my old unit we always had a large group of volunteers that were college students, the pay is pretty good for a young student. As far as envirals go, lets just say there's no love lost between them and I.

[Paulus Invictus]

How can there be forest fires in Oregon? The envirowackos that make up the vast majority of OR voters would never permit their forests to become unmanaged fire traps, would they?

The West continues to burn, thanks to the whacos, the government agencies and in-agency arsonists. In our fair state there are now a total of 14 big fires, and none is under control. All are in forests that have not been managed for years, are all full of dead fuel and are now contributing heavily to localized global warming (the only kind there is).

[Grampa Dave]

Which fire friendly state do you live in?

Thanks for the update.
I hope the enviral's get everything they have coming to them!
