An Army Marches on It's Stomachs, Even a Fire Army! ~By John Hamilton

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 07/28/2012 08:33 AM
Frogtown, CA...The unfortunate event of having the Penn and Graham fires hit our area this week had the upside of the letting us get a glimpse into the the rolling armies that are some of the best in the world at fighting the yearly menace faced throughout California and many of the Western States. While these fires will fall short of some of the long, campaign type battles like the Knight Fire a couple of years ago and the Darby Fire. They did however show us how forces are marshaled and deployed to fight the enemy that doesn't fight with bombs or bullets but can be just as destructive and is just as alive as a human enemy.

Maria Muldaur - In Concert 7pm, Fri, Jul 27, 2012 Under the stars at Twisted Oak Winery in Vallecito

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 07/27/2012 01:03 PM
Vallecito, CA...Maria Muldaur is best known world wide for her '74 mega-hit "Midnight at the Oasis," which received several Grammy nominations, and enshrined her forever in the hearts of Baby Boomers everywhere; but despite her considerable Pop Music success, her 39-year career could best be described as a long and adventurous odyssey through the various forms of American Roots Music. During the folk revival of the early '60s, she began exploring and singing early Blues, Bluegrass, Appalachian "Old Timey" music, beginning her recording career in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band and shortly thereafter, joining the very popular Jim Kweskin Jug Band, touring, and recording with them throughout the '60s...

Penn Fire Update...40% Contained. Full Containment Expected July 28th. 134 Official Acres

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 07/26/2012 08:59 PM
Murphys, CA...The Penn Fire behaved quite well and as the case in some of these fires when the put water on them they sometimes shrink a bit. After the repeated soakings from the air and ground the acreage has dropped from 180 -200 down to 134 acres. The "Shrinkage" is actually just from after they finish accurate measurements of the fire. When this one was under full boil it certainly behaved like 180 - 200. Still assigned to the fire are 424 personnel, 35 engines, 19 fire crews, 5 bulldozers, 4 air tankers, 4 helicopters, 5 water tenders and more. Great work firefighters!! Your community thanks you and the full incident update is enclosed....
