Has it been wet enough so far to keep down the chance of fire? We have been so wet here it would take napalm to get a fire going. Too bad we don't have a President with some 'stones' to just tell the greenies to go to hell and cut the damn stuff before it burns hotter than hell.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-34785337801190477962010-06-23T08:05:57.741-06:002010-06-23T08:05:57.741-06:00I remember in the 80s I was doing a job in Tasmani...I remember in the 80s I was doing a job in Tasmania, a year or so after a huge bushfire had devastated a huge area, and I travelled through a hell of a milage of dead timber. I asked one of the locals why it was not logged and was told that the Greens had blocked it and it had to stay that way until it rotted or was burned up in the next bushfire.<br /><br />If it were here at that time there wouldn't have been a live tree cut until that was logged, but sadly we have caught up and would probably do the same.<br /><br />I was drilling in a small clearing among huge dead trees with heavy trash at ground level which would carry a fire like a nuke. It was scary.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.com
