My posts from where you all know I am will be ending, temporarily

I have been advised and admonished about posting on social networking sites. IOW, I have been censored. Probably because of a reference to G.W. Bu$h in a Facebook posting yesterday (a totally LAME reference, at that).

This will be temporary. I need a little time to probe my options. Know what I mean, Vern?

I knew it wouldn't be a long hiatus.

And all for the sake of a striated rainbow (whatever the hell that is).

Good for you, Mac!

however, from what I understand in your case...you're not doing this for the "pay" necessarily. You're highly competent, well trained, former military.....you've got/and have GIVEN a lot to the USofA. You are GREAT at what you do and are willing to do a job most people wouldn't.

Say what you want. Don't refrain. Don't suffer those bullies. Seriously.

My 2 cents and Peace,
BillyJack

That is EXACTLY what I am telling them Monday when I get in from the wilderness. I'm going in stinky and unshaven and lay it on the line.

and dont add co-workers (bosses)

heck, i dont even let immediate family members on mine. cousins and the like, sure... but no parents or siblings

i live near them all, so i talk to them all the time.. so maybe my situation is different from most people, but they dont need to be in my business on the internet too

As I understand it, you are out there on that tower 24/7 with only your faithful dog by your side. It's hard for humans to be in that much isolation and remain alert. If they want you to stay alert enough to do your job, they should cut you some slack. JMHO

Seriously, like many DUers, I LOVE your posts.

As a resident of Oregon, thank you for helping to watch over part of our forests.

I look forward to seeing more of your posts during the fire-watch season.

Bright blessings to you, and to your dog companion.

I love your posts! If nothing else, they definitely inspire people to want to do lookout work. It's unbelievable to me that anyone would want to stop you from telling your stories.

Let us know how it goes. Summer wouldn't be the same without you!
