i guess that makes me feel better, more fortunate.. that is horrible, losing your home to a fire... really traumatizing i imagine. I have recently come to rea;lize if i plant to live in the mountains of NorCal for the rest of my days, lkei was kinda plannin to i will undoubtedly eventually lose my home to a fire, i guess you could build in an area that has just burned. anyways... the firefighters ity turns out were trying to save my cro becaus whn i finally retuned to trhe area, there was this spac blanket looking thing shiny metal foil that they had draped ovr my plants (which were quite charred inside) oh well appreciate EVERYTHING you firefighters do.. TRUE american heroes.. those troops who enjoy killing innocent people for a living could learn a thing or two about true bravery, and making a positive difference in the world. (currently i think all returning soldiers should be incarcerated and be in re-socialization camps until I or smeone as competent as me deem them fit to mix with the normal largely peaceful population (you know people who aren't KILLERS.) anyways the point is fighting fires would be a great part of this re-socialization process, and a much, much, more noble cause. I really cannot express enough how much i appreciate and admire those who take the same risk a cop or soldier takes every day.. being killed in the line of duty, however firefighters provide much more protection than any soldier and really any cop.
