yet the same group that controls the educational system demands we
rebuild New Orleans at taxpayer expense......

I have a bit less sympathy for people that build in wilderness areas,
flood plains or below sea level and then are surprised when Mother
Nature
intrudes.- Hide quoted text -

Never mind, help is on the way. British Columbia is sending the giant Martin
Mars water bombers. I have seen them working when they fought some fires
near where I live. Back in the 1960s I used to park a Cessna 150 under the
starboard wing of one, with several other light aircraft. The Mars were
being converted to water bombers at that time.

One's already here. They had footage of it landing on Lake Elsinore
this afternoon. After it clears customs and the crew gets some rest it
should go into service tomorrow.
