I had my doubts when they came to town but I am impressed. Speaking as an outsider looking in, I was worried sick. I didn’t attended any meetings, I did however read everything written that I could find. Google and Bing didn’t make that easy. They blocked all but the “official” news sources. There are ways around that, too.
I watched the nightly meetings on public access television, kept up with all the updates from Inciweb, ENPLAN and MyMotherLode. I watched the sky, listened to the news, prayed and worried. I worried a lot, so I had to pray a lot. That kept me pretty busy but didn’t leave much time for sleeping.
At the meetings, when the firefighters and others started a dialog about rehabilitation of the forest, I was floored. I only hope it doesn’t unleash even more GMO loose in nature. I hope and pray that’s not the case. I like the idea of helping things along if we work with nature, but we should not be adding to the GMO problem by infesting our forests with them.
As for the firefighters: I am impressed, I know your work is not over and my prayers are with you. The little town of Twain Harte thanks you all, from the bottom of our heart.
