Give him a hug when you see him, and let him know he is in our thoughts.

I damned near shot out my TV after seeing a guy by the name of Trumka talk about how California has “taken the lead” in acting on Climate Change.

Everyone should Publicly Thank the Sierra Club for all they have done. I will bet my last nickel that most if Not All of those affected in SoCal regularly Donate and Fully Support the Actions of the Sierra Club and the Environmental Communist Groups.

For me this is the definitive writing on managing forest fires. Dr. Wattenberg had late night radio show from the bay area. He worked at Lawrence Livermore Labs and was called the smartest man you can talk to for free (on the radio).

The state of Cal ignored him on gasoline additives and clearing underbrush from forests, He died 3 months ago, but his work is on the internet.

Yeah I have pattern of staying up late on sunday night. I guess to ward off the impending monday. I watched What’s My Line in the 50s

He was smarty guy on so many subjects. Not just his job. I would have voted him benign dictator for 6 years to clean up the state. People like that don’t come along too often.

I feel California is a lot like Venezuela. They chose their path. They are living the consequences of their own choices. Maybe forest fires (or starvation, in the case of Venezuela) are an acceptable price for utopian, collectivism and socialism.

Anyway, its their own fault. How am I supposed to react?

A better title would be “The Lunacy of Luna.”

This isn’t new or even recent.

The Money Wrench Hang - authored by Edward Abbey Edward Abbey (now very much and long dead)

The novel concerns the use of sabotage to protest environmentally damaging activities in the Southwestern United States, and was so influential that the term “monkeywrench” has come to mean, besides sabotage and damage to machines, any sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking to preserve wilderness, wild spaces and ecosystems.

They leave self-righteous, delusional and narcissist to describe these so-called Eco-protectors.....

These ass-hats were the bane of Nevada ranchers for years as these criminal dropped cement nto wells, shot holes in watering tanks (tho this may have ordinary drunken ass-hats for urban areas) wore up piping used to water cattle, knocked down corrals and so on.

These Eco-thugs seem to congregate in te Califlower. Must be the water.

"Pipeline."

Going on my early surfing days and not Google, I believe that was The Chantays or maybe The Ventures.

Thanks. I couldn't resist and searched Pipeline. The Chantays wrote and recorded it, but The Ventures cover is what most remember and hear to this day. It's difficult to remember who wrote what because all those Surf Bands covered each other, not to mention a life-time ago.

BTW, I almost body surfed the Wedge in that video, but chickened out and you can see why. It was a nasty closed out big wave that broke in about 3 ft. of water. It was the most deadly break at the time - may still be.

Sorry to take this off the Topic.

Agenda 21 says 6 1/2 billion or so of us have to go away...
