sleepless night

[Old Jim]

Our thoughts go out to western residents during the fire season.

Locally, we have grass-fires. With a nearby water supply, controlled by The Corp Of Eng., a flow of 600,000 cfs is ample to fight our fires, but individuals need a "permit" from the Corp to insert a 4" pump in that river to draw water for the fire. Said permit takes several days to be approved. I will drop my pump in that river when needed and they can bill me. Our fire-fighters are all volunteers, and no one has lost a home because we care.
