Just to let you know, we have the same problems, here...
everyone can show up for a photo op, but give us some $$, or get the pay where it should be and it is always budget cut.
We don't have the wildfires (and all the arson) but have to deal with the Tornadoes..
Public safety any place is something everybody wants, but nobody wants to support.
Glad you pulled thru my bro.. hope it continues!

Well kids, we made it through the hard part. The weather has cooled down and it has been sprinkling. Most of the major fires have been reduced to hot spots and minor flare ups. The Chargers kicked butt today, giving the crowd a much needed lift!
I drove through Rancho Bernardo yesterday on my way home. It is a surreal view, some homes standing with just smoke spots on them next to burned out homes in a row.
The fire I watched just starting last week in Fallbrook really burned the brush, trees and hillside homes. It grew quite large, but is just hot spots also.
Our 25 guys have returned. They fought a lot of fire and saved about 20 homes from burning down. It was a time warp for me, watching the grins of excitement on the new guys faces that went on a strike team for the first time. It reminded me of a skinny kid I used to be...
I laughed as I read through my previous post I was ranting on. I have to step away from the computer after 120 hours on duty in a row!!
So thank you guys once again for the thoughts and prayers. We have on hell of a good dysfunctional family here!!!!!
Otter, Ohio State is kicking some butt! All is good in the Buckey State!!!

Good to see the weather helping. Hopefully you guys are getting a little more rest now Reaper. KC -- I'm afraid you Kansans have your seasons mixed up -- basketball hasn't started yet. 
I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
