I spent the weekend at my lake house (the first time we allowed in since the fires). Our area was lucky to have missed the fires, but we took a drive this afternoon to Graham, and the devastation is beyond words, we also went on Texas16 South towards Strawn, and the beautiful Palo Pinto mountains look like a bomb went off. I understand that those involved in the tornados in the south are a priority, and rightly so, however our pled went out two weeks before when we needed help with the fires, not until the fires were almost all contained did the feds take over, and they were pure @ss holes to the local volunteer departments that worked tirelessly for almost three weeks. As far as I’m concerned the feds can stay away, Obamma knows he’s going to lose Texas anyway, so why would he bother helping us.. I can tell you after the way the feds treated our local hero’s that it’ going to have to be bad before we ever call them for anything again.
