Lol those can't really be miss USA contestants, they're too ugly.

Someone posted a pic on FB of an idiot with a 5th wheel camper strapped to the trunk lid of his car.

Aah, "a goof" means "a joke." I thought it referred to the person.

Search for Jimmy Tourettes on YouTube, hilarious if you have a suitably twisted sense of humor. Angels is a classic of the genre 😀😀

Thanks for posting that, Will - we are planning on going through Redding in a couple weeks -- hopefully better then. Keep yourself safe up there!

Yep -- a couple tips: we keep all our important docs in a sentry portable safe, so to prep we throw a couple more things in there. Also, have a Desktop tower set up as our main home server, takes just a minute to grab the tower. Have clothes and food for you and pets, etc. already packed. There are some non-replaceable items we'd toss in the MH and both of us would drive a vehicle and a trailer. Everything else is insured and stays...

Good luck to you Will - we'll keep you in our prayers...
Scott

Thanks Scott, a bunch of that is taken care of, and I’m getting the rest together. Nominally our house should be safe down by the river in Anderson, but with a situation like this, one never knows.

For or those interested, KRCR News Chanel 7 is the local. They had to evacuate the broadcast studio while the team was on the air.

Rather than add a repeat of a picture, Here is a relatively current look at the fire using infrared satellite data.

We (New Jersey) just sent crews out west to assist. That's a sign of the severity.



On a different note, I just saw this. I like seeing the aftermarket still supporting these, now old, trucks.

Having been a wildland firefighter, I really appreciate the support from our brothers and sisters from around the continent.

Their goal for tonight is to keep everything West of Interstate 5 and hopeful contain it, but who knows what the weather will bring.

I hope they can hold it. That is too close for comfort to the hospital that's for sure.
I've been out west on crews myself, the last time was Idaho, Montana, & Utah over 13 years ago now. Got to do some longline work since I had helitack training and we were IA on some fires. Hard work but I miss it.
Stay safe.
