Not much activity this week. Summers here and folks are busy(some are busy rioting. It's hard work).
Arizona is seriously burnt. The air looks awful. I've thought about moving back to Alaska, but I know AK and Canada burn a lot also. Maybe Nevada, there's not much to burn there between Vegas and Utah.

But there's money in them thar hills. Our governor and all have somehow come up with a good sized chunk of money to do something about wildfires. Some help for people burnt out ect. I really don't know all the details but $100M. I don't know where you were raised, but that's real money. Ah, but, I guess there's plenty where that came from.

"As many Arizonans know, we are in the midst of another catastrophic wildfire season," Ducey said on June 18. "People and pets have been displaced, homes have been burned down, vast swaths of forest and desert have been decimated. It’s been horrible."- That much is true, but it's the New Normal(at least the last couple yrs.) and if you want to live in the sticks expect the sticks to catch fire. Ranchers, on the other hand have to live there. When the desert burns the Californians complain their view is ruined. The ranchers need that little piece of land to maintain the herd. Our fires have exceeded 200K now.
The $100 million appropriation includes $25 million to pay for 720 state prisoners to clear brush and other flammable material under direction of state forestry officials and some contract clearing operations.-
Oh, lets see, $25 million divided by 720 is about $35,000 per inmate. Actually, less than minimum wage by my figures. But in the old days it was, well, less than that. I keep going over that: $25m, 720.
$25m, 720. I don't know, it just seems like a lot.
