I"m sorry but I remember well the weekend of the Cedar fires and I remember the weather reports leading up to that weekend where it was often labelled a "Red Flag" event. When I heard the CDF called off helo water drops when they were already enroute and then that we had much of our heavy equipment up in Riverside country and couldn't get it back....it showed how poorly qualified the people running the show were. But some obvious things were exposed and procedures corrected. I would not give Sanders an ounce of credit for any of this as anything he might have actually done has be reactionary at best. Surely there is something else worthy of reason for re-election? Doug -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
