I have often wondered why there has never been and infra stucture put in place that would create an irragation type system that could provide a barrier against these flames that strike every year. It would seem to me that the insurance industry would even be willing to subsidize part of the bill just to reduce claims. While ocean water would not be a perfect choice it would be readily available and alot less damaginging than the fires. But this is the opinion of a man who thought the levees in New Orleans should have been 20 feet taller when I worked there in 1990. At least this time the folks did not have to wait for some one to decide if this was a bad fire or a not so bad fire, or a wait and see if they need to leave fire. It will be interesting to see which state gets completely rebuilt first California or Louisiana. My bet is on the west coast. <BR/><BR/>Oh while I am at it great idea on the blog Billy I hope we can see some home town ideas debated and started here. Your leadership has made Glasgow years ahead of cities five times it size, when it comes to technology and the ease of it's use. Thanks and continue the good work.<BR/>Dennis WootenBigPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165849965207899925noreply@blogger.com
