Odds that, at a minimum, Bill Clinton ogled at least one cocktail waitress at his daughters wedding reception? :o

Re: Random thought of the moment.
My brother did the same thing when he left the service. Said he was going to hang-out with Smokey and try talking to trees instead of wrapping them in det. cord. I thought he was nuts. But between that job and the Army, it really made him the solid person he is today.Lunch wrote:Started my first permenent job with the US Forest Service on Smokey's 60th Birthday :)

Re: Random thought of the moment.
He actually left after serving several roles including LEO, Forester and another environmental role here in NY State. He spent a lot of time up in the Finger Lakes which I believe is our only National Forest. But the back and forth traveling was too much. He did however parlay that experience into a nice career. Like I said, guys like yourself, my brother and the others around here who give back in that way are what makes this country great.Lunch wrote:Demolitions are approved/recommended for fighting forest fires in declared Wilderness...whoda thoughtC-MAC wrote:My brother did the same thing when he left the service.

And a few wraps of det cord/well situated charge is perfect for trees too dangerous for chainsaw work (not including the rocket-propelled chainsaws).

The most authentic thing about us
Is our capacity to create, to overcome,
To endure, to transform, to love,
And to be greater than our suffering.
