He knows where Denver is and he got your joke, he just thought it was a little crass considering people are dying and losing everything they own right now.
So last evening a lighting strike in our neighborhood started a fire about 50 yards behind a house. A few minutes later we could smell the smoke. Half of our neighbors were there with shovels before an engine rolled up. We live in an area like the ones currently burning that by now you guys have seen in video and pictures. Given the strike area this one would of been ugly.
His .gif is more of a "huh"? Than a "you bastard!" In my defense..I don't believe anyone had died at the time of my posting. At least I hadn't heard of any deaths. Maybe my "joke" was a little crass...I meant no ill will towards anyone who has lost their life, loved one, or home.
I know you meant nothing by it, the .gif was just a "oh ****"...and i love christian bale. However, we do have some members that are being directly affected by it, so it could be taken as ill-fashioned.
its weekend, sitting on my balcony, iPad on my lap, have a pretty girl coming by later...life is good
You know, its not always easy to get along with your neighbors, but when the threat can effect everyone its nice to see just how fast we can react together. All the firefighting pros had to do at their arrival was to add water to the equation.
No big deal man. We who live in the mountains know the risks just like those in tornado alley or in areas prone to hurricanes. Lighting caused fires are one thing but when some moron throws a cigarette butt out their car ...that's a whole other matter. They say they do not know the cause of last years Waldo Fire and so far are saying the same for the Black Forest fire now burning. They however are saying neither was caused by lightning. Waldo -346 homes and loss of life Black Forest- 380 homes and loss of life...so far. Both fires have started about the same time of year. Personally, and I'm far from alone in my thinking, that its arson caused.
If it is thats insane. Talk about $$$, insurance costs, lives and homes destroyed. Worse than some terrorist attacks.
I agree, bb. Last year before Waldo Canyon, there was a rash of minor arson-related wildfires that never really got out of control. It just seems like way too much of a coincidence to not be arson...
Bigbry, Colorado Dolfan, what part of Colorado do you live in? You can pm me if you want. Those fires are nasty and I've had two different cousins affected by two different fires over the past two years. Being from Ks, I love thunderstorms and tornados...lol Been out here for 10 years now.
Yeah it was as tho the perpetrator was in their learning curve phase with the earlier fires. Remember they found homemade incendiary devices that didn't work. That info was leaked but then seem to go away in time but never actually refuted.
I'm right in Colorado Springs. Love living here, but this drought sucks. About ten years ago, you could set your watch to the afternoon storms that would hit just about every day...
I'm in the Roaring Fork Valley on the Western Slope. Far away from the fires but I too have friends in those affected areas. Edit: affected from effected...is that right?
My cousin in the Springs told me that they came within a half mile of losing their house. They were in HI on vacation at the time and had to watch it on tv.
On a lighter note,(no pun intended) I re-booked our rental car reservation for later this summer cutting $150 off. I'll keep checking to see how low I can get it.
Pretty girl, congrats on the milestone. Hurry to the bank and get some gold dollars, $2 bills and silver dollars! Edit: just saw you're in Germany. Get her currency.

Well there goes the Sparanos movie if it was ever going to be made. tony Sparano died Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah. I have 2 little girls. In 10-12 years I will turn into this raving lunatic who goes ape-sh*t on any punk-*** teenaged boy who even smiles at one of my little girls the wrong way. That's normal, right?
No its not...but dammit it should be. Its getting to the point I'm not going to be allowed to go anywhere in public or I'm gonna start berating parents that let their young daughters dress like whores. I mean if one's 12 year old's *** is about to come out the bottom of her shorts then one is a failure as a parent and should be slapped around. No wonder so many females grow up having self esteem issues.
