We had a presentation from our local Fire Department covering ways to reduce potential fire damage to houses - some stuff I did not know. My house is pretty well set up - no large trees close to the dwelling, meadow surrounding what trees there are and a lot of the underbrush from the trees has been cleared away (thanks Jimmy!!!).
The rest of the meeting was uneventful with the exception of finding out that someone from Bellingham was very happy to find out about our group and was more than willing to come out and sponge off us in the event of a disaster. Excuuuuse me but that would be a big fat NO! unless you wrote us a check for $10,000 or so. We take care of ourselves and families first, neighbors second and local community third. Grow a pair and develop some personal responsibility...
Got an email from one of the WECG members - there is a big endurance foot-race coming up the weekend of the 17th and this will be my first year volunteering to work the radios. Fun stuff! We will be coordinating at tomorrows meeting.
