Save us your lame jokes...
There is nothing funny about what is happening.

Thousands of Firefighters are putting their lives on the line trying to save tens of thousands of homes.

--for nearly sixty years, starting out when listening to the barn radio in the late 'forties (1940's for those from Rio Linda, not 1840), I have been hearing tales of California brush fires and mudslides--

-- when you Commiefornians get smart enough to not build homes on unstable material, and to elect politicians who will allow you to clear brush from near your expensive homes, I won't be able to make jokes about it---

I’m with you.

It is odd how people laugh at the misfortunes of others. Reminds me of an older time, before the advent of Christ, before man “evolved.” As the Roman poet Lucretius said:

“Pleasant it is, when over a great sea the winds trouble the waters, to gaze from shore upon another’s great tribulation.”

I thought we were better than that now.

Then again, we did elect Obama, so...

"Thousands of Firefighters are putting their lives on the line trying to save tens of thousands of homes."

Prayers tonight for their success and their safety.
