Thanks to US firefighters from Alaska, Oregon and elsewhere for coming to

[applegrove]

Alberta. Many, many fires are burning and a heat dome is about to arrive, increasing drying and lightening strikes. Vibes to all the people and firefighters.

1. Returning the favor.

I used to live near a smokejumper base, when the fires down here get rolling, many firefighters from Canada come to help. I used to see quite a number of Canadian firefighting aircraft and, when the fire camp was near town, sometime meet them in town.

2. We are all in this together. I hope some right wing nuts in Alberta

who are safely in their homes but watching the terrible news pause for a second and think about cooperation.

4. Many of the people being affected by the fires will be the RW. That is most of rural Alberta.

3. I hope they are able to put out soon

I live in Oregon and when we had a bunch of fires they came from all over to help. I am so glad it works that way.

That's how life is suppose to be full of loving, caring people.

6. The world mostly is filled with loving and caring people.

5. And right now, there's a Republican sitting in Fairbanks or Bend, all pissed off . . .

. . . muttering "But muh tax dollars!!!"

7. Stay safe, applegrove

Stay safe

9. I'm not in Alberta. I just wanted to shout out to US firefighters.

8. Yes, stay safe. Heat domes may not allow evening temps

to drop into the range needed by our bodies. For those outside or with power outages, of course.

10. Hear, hear!
