This blog will probably have a lot of diverse subjects, since I have so many pressing interests at this phase of my life. Originally, I wanted to write all about the horrendous hoax that some in the "environmental movement" are perpetrating on the people of California regarding forest management in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. I will devote some time to this, but it certainly is not the "theme" of my blog. Rotary has become a huge part of my life, and I seem to devote more and more each day to this endeavor. I will become the District Governor for Rotary District 5190 in June of 2012. It's a huge job, and an incredible responsibility. You will undoubtedly hear more about this. Fire fighting on large complex forest fires is still a passion (and vocation) of mine. After 30+ years, I just wasn't ready to give up the most enjoyable part of my job. Currently, I participate as a Safety Officer on California Inter-agency Incident Management Team 4. A great bunch of professionals! Might even make a few posts from "fire camp." I might also occasionally opine about how things are going just being a "stay-at-home Dad" since My number one priority is getting my last two daughters through high school and on to college. The opportunity to do this was a big factor in my leaving the US Forest Service when I did. Of course the ever increasing grinding bureaucracy, and "politically correct" non-leadership had a little to do with that decision as well.
So, we'll see how productive I will be as I embark into the blogosphere. Here goes!
