Mrs. Fan and I went to sushi tonight. Sat at the bar. Next to me was a young gal who worked for the fire fighting division of the BLM (the respectable one!). She was just pulled from the fire in CA and is being sent to the Mullen fire. She was pissed. Angry that the hippies wouldn't let the experts manage that forest, and blames them for what is going on. I jokingly said "isn't it just global warming?" She glared at me.
We laughed.
