Buzz...I had to look into a friend's eyes after he saved some folks who refused a mandatory evacuation in front of a forest fire. Burns covering 70% of his body.
He died the next day. Folks that don't leave should be held criminally reponsible for the deaths of any responders who try to save them If I don't sound too charitable...been in an NLRB election hearing listing to union whiners for the past few days. Tends to make ya want to kick a few dogs. |
I know the "victims" aren't the only ones that suffer in a disaster and by far the nobler and more tragic are the losses felt by the rescuers and those who truly can't get out of harms way. I understand the anger part big buddy, I just have difficulty seeing humour or satire in any of it.
We are all coloured by our experiences and as this discussion goes on I begin to see that my perspective may just not be broad enough on this one to fully and objectively appreciate the other point of view. PS - I know what you mean about dealing with the union types and their mentality - been there. |
Assolutely agree with you re it not being funny, my friend...phuking tragic is what it is.

I find it interesting that you view my posts that way,I had never given it any thought. Looks like a positive to me though,thanks.:) |
I am not sure about the accuracy of some of the things I have been seeing and hearing, but it seems that many people were just downright fortunate as , in the words of one of the rescue commanders, they had prepared for worst case scenario in some of those places and it wasn't as bad as they had feared. That is good news. They did show lots of trees and other damage, but I was surprised at the houses that stood up. However, they said some of them may not be live able after everything is cleaned up and they are inspected.
My cousin and his wife left yesterday for a long vacation, heading West, so they will get to miss the heavy rain that is supposed to fall in their area from this storm. He said they already have had over two years of normal rainfall there this year and all of the lakes are as full as they can hold. Ron |

Yea, but they work and bring him extra mad money to have fun with. Turtle just sits and waits for you to clean him up and re-do his finish. Ron :D |
