Hey mate, that sounds like a decent pay off for something you would have done for free I'd imagine. Coming from Australia I know all about wildfires and the devastation they can wreak so it's great to see people pitching in like you; It happens here too. Nice work.
!ENGAGE 20
Actually I was totally doing it for free other than bottled water delivery pizza and free beer!
They definitely take care of volunteers and I watched an entire Community come out.
The first night I was out there we had a arson incident happen.
Extremely wild is the best way I can put it.
And right now as we speak all of the rain is avoiding the areas that we need it to fall in.
I am pretty upset. We totally need that rain.
I wonder if we could sacrifice the weatherman and get the gods to help us out with a little bit of moisture....
I mean hey we've tried everything else we might as well go back to the old ways those things work man.
It's good that the community turned out to pitch in; It's in their interest to do so I guess. Happens here too. Those who can't fight fires make food, help shelter the displaced people and animals, offer support where they can...Nice to see humans all pulling in the same direction at the same time.
Hey, sacrifice that weather man mate...The bastards never get the fucking weather right anyway! 🤣
And honestly enough think about how many mouths that weatherman could feed! Add some rice and beans it could really feed the community.
Oh yeah, that's a good point too! Weather men, who needs them! Whilst were at it we could do something about arsonists too.
Well we could always use the people who like fires as barbecue for the people who are hungry?...
That'll work!
I don't know what it is about those arsonists...We get them here too. The fires they light cause so much devastation.
Mental idiots or in our case political agitators
The concept of a weather man is pretty wild in these times. Why can't they get their jobs cut during this whole 'Rona crap? We need the construction workers and stuff, but the weather men? How often do they get the weather right nowadays? Probably 10% around here! The most hilarious example was we were on track to get a MASSIVE snowstorm, according to the weather men, and it gloriously snowed a couple flakes and completely changed directions. Schools and businesses closed across the state for pretty much nothing. They are always saying "well it's better to be wrong!" as if that makes up for their failures lol
Honestly enough it seems like they put out the worst fear that they can so that everybody prepares...
Then then they are like oops sorry.
Nate Silver the famous predictor wrote a book a few years ago called 'The Signal and the Noise'. He explained why complex predictions go so sideways and it was pretty interesting.
In his book, he claimed there was only one group worse at prediction than the weather people. Economists :)
Oh my God man you got me on that one.
