Heavens to Betsy!

Rick Sylvester's pine needle tonnage at Tahoe each fall is immense.

He does it all himself, too.

Hundreds of bags of dry pine needles.

Don't know where he sends them.

Why is Cressman "cracking you up" Jeremy?

Boston Herald photo and story with Cressman photo dated 2016: http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/2016/06/feds_drought_kills_66_million_trees_in_californias_sierra_0

It isn't localized to Cressman. We've had lots of story's about the death of trees throughout the west. Warm winters and pine beetles are a huge problem for trees all over. ST has posts and threads on Yosemite trees dying going back quite a few years.

That requires a paradigm shift, innovation, and incentive.

Sorry, that is not currently on the menu. We could substitute a heaping pile of coal instead.

Please...is it too much to expect POTUS to be able to speak with more intelligence then a third grader so that internet forums don’t have to debate what he really meant?

That'd be a resounding "Yes."

Pretty sure that if you've got bone dry fuel stacked by the billions of tons with a good steady wind tossed in... that it's all gonna burn at some point. That roomba might move the timing a bit.

People who build on the slopes of volcanoes or 6" above sea level on beaches around the globe are in similar chosen boats.

Are the residential home insurance rates higher in any areas out West in places deemed "high fire risk"?

Well I'm sorry that I choose to include an obscenity in the title. This started as more of a play on the other thread with a similar title.

But glad there's a real (and civil) discussion going on about this serious topic!!

Got it thanks Jeremy! I was thinking you noted that because that area had been clear cut or burned. The lazy lyin' NY Times borrowed the old 2016 photo that Boston used cause they're too damned lazy to get a new shot. You'd think in this day and age they could have called someone in Ca and had them email a current version.

Compare: Boston herald 2016:
