Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' FUN

It has been a whole week since I added anything to this but that is mostly because I have been a little busy. My management fire has finally hung itself up along some cliffs, small draws and light fuel types so it is over. There is still a little smoke hanging around and it will be there for quite a while but the fire has very little potential to get back up and run. I am very pleased with the results.

Yesterday we had a going away barbeque for one of the women that work for me. She is my lead fire person so I will dearly miss her. She is really good at what she does and where she is going she will do good.

We are getting a new guy in to be her acting while we try to fill it permanently. It should be good to see how this new guy works out. He works nearby and I have done fire with him in the past but he was not the one in charge - I'm looking forward to see how he reacts in tight spots and under pressure. From what I have seen he should be really good.
