Watching Channel 8 and they just showed a 10-15 car motorcade traveling into one of the fire zones. They said it was carrying an unnamed public official.

What fool pulls that many police units out of their duties to be escorted around?

The forests (whats left of them) in CA are going to burn this summer until there is nothing left to burn. The state will be lucky if it gets half an inch of rain this summer.

Turko Files revealed at least one of the fire scenes has been designated as a “crime scene”. Turko himself said he had been suspicious because the fires were all over the place .. which is not the normal pattern of a fire.

What’s weird .. I was thinking that too. They would just barely get one fire under control and suddenly another fire would start up .. miles from the first fire. That surely is not normal.

Have had to stock it before but, I was a Pipeliner back then. We did Water, Sewer, and Storm Drain. In LA they used to just drop ship to the job as it never rains. It’s like 4 complete Lumber Yards on the street.
There were also 4x8 sheets of plywood also flying being peeled off like a deck of cards along with various Sheet metal, roofing, and other items that could do serious injury. The wrought iron fence around the Olympic sized pool was decimated from being hit.
I just shut our job down for three days.

Dawn lives in Ramona. Did you hear if the fire is moving that way at all?

Ah. I thought she lived in Fallbrook. I haven't heard or read anything to indicate a threat in Ramona. The most current info I found, from about an hour ago, is that:

"In Ramona, schools are closed today, as are schools in 28 other districts in the county, and Superintendent Robert Graeff is communicating with other districts about whether schools will reopen Friday. As winds whipped through Ramona yesterday and smoke from other fires in the county was visible, residents flocked to markets to stock up on water and other essentials."

I challenged him/her/it either to clarify or to apologize for his remark. Let’s give him an adequate opportunity to do so.

You want the The KG9 Kid to apologize for hoping millions of Americans are burned out by wild fires?

Good luck with that.

Oh, I see you talking, but you're asking me to clarify a comment you've had removed.

If you'd have read it instead of typing with your fists and summoning your minions to battle, you'd have read that it wasn't *me* saying the cherry-picked comment "[...] hope California burns all year long".

That's certainly the tragic-comic language Western US FSLA-endowed union firefighters use when all of California's fire control budget turns on like a hydrant gushing out hundreds of millions of dollars every single summer. They come from as far as the Dakotas to get a piece of the action. Many of these firefighters haven't responded to a fire in their home states in years.

No apology is forthcoming.

You're wrong, friend. I read it more carefully than anyone else. Everyone else assumed those were your words because you did not enclose that sentence in quotation marks. I noticed, however, that it was in the same paragraph as your invented quotes, and so I gave you the benefit of the doubt and asked you to clarify that you were merely "parroting" their remarks and that they are not yours personally. As you can plainly see, you offended many, and I was far from the first.

So, come down off your high horse and tell us, which is it? While you're at it, why not also offer an expression of sympathy to those unfortunates afflicted by these fires?

Finally, I had nothing to do with your post being erased.

You’re asking me to either apologize or banish myself from FR for punctuation. Probably explains why e e cummings doesn’t post here anymore.

If you have further comments for me, send FR mail please.
