I just don't want to upset our Chris.

Hey **** you guys also you're all ugly as sin.

I can feel the autism flowing through my veins already.

I can confirm that we have some handsome forumistas.

And some charmingly burly former baristas.

Those last few pages were interesting. Hadn't been here in a few weeks and it seems nothing has changed. Good to know I didn't miss anything.

What you talkin' bout, shizzle?

No idea. I don't remember posting that.

Nah was responding to a now deleted post.

That makes more sense somehow

In the winter of 2015 half of the modest downtown area in my hometown burnt down. Firefighters were helpless to stop it as it was -30 degrees and the fire hoses kept freezing.

Last month my family's cabin in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, where I spent the majority of my childhood f*cking around in the forest, and was lost in the Roosevelt Fire. 50,000 acres burnt and 25 structures destroyed, all because some idiot didn't put out their campfire properly.

AND this week marks a year since the Tubbs fire here in Northern California. I'm reminded every day how close I came to losing everything in the blaze, it came within half a mile of my house.



It's just like, wtf. Who's the comedian that said that when they were young they expected quicksand to be a much bigger problem in their life? I guess I never expected fire to be such a theme in mine.
