Sometimes , some people have to experience it and endure it to grasp the meanings of such words.
Some look at it and dismiss it because it isn't happening to them producing at the most a, "very concerned" or less.
Then What you take away after it passes.
Is it all your enemies fault?
O can tell you, the old perplexing saying, " there are no Non Believers in the fox hole"
Is imaginary as QANON's most beloved conspiracy.
Hogan's heroes needs to make a comeback.
It is, uh, "bracing", yeah let's call it bracing, to watch the goddamn media try to make a horse race out of a carpet bombing. I'd ask what they expected, but what would be the point?
The Creek Fire is three ridges east of here and as of this morning it was 193,000 acres, but that's only an estimate because the thick smoke is interfering with their ability to get infrared images of the goddamn monster.
It's like a foggy day outside, except there are no real clouds, just stuff hanging in the air that used to be a tree, some brush, or a fucking house.
It was 2017 when the goddamn Railroad Fire burned close enough to here that cinders the size of your foot rained down, but somehow didn't burn this area out. We didn't show up until last December, but I remember texting Zsuzs updates because she didn't have good internet, and that was the fire that the Squeaker story was from.
My dad worked for the US Forest Service in northern California for thirty fucking years so I know what I'm talking about when I say that it didn't used to be like this.
Climate change brought the drought, the drought brought the beetles, and now about a third (my eyeball estimate) of the standing timber is dry and dead, making a perfect conduit between a brush fire, which is actually helpful, and a canopy fire that gobbles up the square miles.
I've heard it said recently that if this shit was happening back east something would get done about it.
It will eventually happen back east, but do we really have to wait for that to fucking do something?
If the Republicans win, yes we do.
If we put in a full on effort to change this, how soon will it change?
At this point, years, maybe decades.
And if we don't?
New American paradigm: biblical Hell.
Thank you again for the podcast. The bombing raids of incendiary truth have sparked counter attacks of lies and insanity, and I'm kinda losing my sense of humor about it a little.
