Extinguishing wildfires
Given the distance family members and the opportunity to interface with other I have to depend upon sending recommendations of good things to watch. With that, yesterday I sent a link to an interview between a noted late night host and the potential national politician. One of ours if you will. I do not do this often and I got back a thank you note which also pointed out that I was one of more than 10 to forward that same link. In other terms the material resonated. What does that mean for the upcoming changes in governance nationally. I do not do hats or bumper stickers but I will tell others when I learn of material that might cause them to think about a situation. Choosing our politicians is one of those moments. I am also pleased about the affirmation that my take on the situation is not that rare. Most of us are more politically aware and astute then we realize. On other things of interest, I watched a video about putting out wildfires with sea water. Anyone who has studied history will remember the rumor that the Romans salted the fields of their enemy. It turns out that pouring salt water on those fields is not the same thing. Dumping salt water on large fires has been going on for years. Those oversized airplanes that scoop water from the ocean and then release it is real. And the only caveat is to wash the plain afterwards with fresh water. Like you would do with your own car here in Canada after the winter. Not that serious. And for the record we have a lot of salt water around. More than enough to extinguish the occasional wildfire. Not my job but I do like to be up to date on the possibilities. This has nothing to do with irrigation of your crops. Please do not confuse the two possibilities. Your fields of food do not need you to dump the ocean on top. Continue to use fresh water just like before. This is for emergency use and you will know when the emergency is at hand. I did mention wildfires.
