LOL no I was way to drunk to think clearly like that. I figure there are several guides there. I can tell you his name is Max and he bartender at the Silver Dollar.
oh btw while you were igniting wild fires, njn got a new yob and is moving to Detroit to be somebody. Look. If he had one shot, or one opportunity, to seize everything he ever wanted. In one moment, would he captured it, or just let it slip?
He captured.
Awesome for him! Hope it's exactly what he wanted.

Well we do set fire to stop fire...
Yea I know.
When I lived in Tallahassee I used to ride the dirt bike in the Apalachicola National Forest, and they would do control burns every other year or so. That kindling grows like weeds there. Literally?
Would be cool if someone had a secret marijuana crop growing in a forest that fell victim to a forest fire.

Yup. Is actually quite frequent. I'll see if I can dig up the document crews were given on a fire last year explaining why they may test positive for marijuana.

Not just controlled burns. The crews also use burnouts. Not the tyre frying type either. They set fire ahead of the fire to use up fuel before the fire gets to that location. Need the have the right conditions tho. Wrong wind or temp/RH forecast and **** goes wrong pretty fast. Also a good way to try and save structures.
Veteran driver says current rain tires 'aquaplane' and are unsafe
Despite finger pointing from Williams F1 driver Felipe Massa, Pirelli officials say the tire maker is not responsible for the growing number of rain delays in Formula 1.
While safety standards in the sport have steadily improved, the other trend of the last decade is that F1 race director Charlie Whiting is increasingly prone to red-flagging track action in the event of rain.
F1 veteran Felipe Massa said that is because of Pirelli's rain tires.
"The problem we have is the aquaplaning on these tires," Massa is quoted by Brazil's UOL.
Pirelli chief Mario Isola, however, disagrees with the claim.
"The rain tires are designed to run on a wet track," he said. "We have already shown in situations like practice in the US GP, with heavy rain, the tires work in this type of condition. What we have seen is many races stopped because of visibility."
The other theory is that Whiting and the FIA are simply increasingly reluctant to let drivers take too many risks in wet weather following the death stemming from Jules Bianchi's horrific crash on a wet track in Japan in 2014.
One proposed solution by the FIA is that, in the event of a safety-car start, the cars will in future be returned to the grid when the track is safe for a normal standing start.
"Everyone seems to agree with that," said Whiting.
Interestingly, Whiting also seemed to side with Massa over the issue of Pirelli's wet tires.
"We know that the drivers don't like driving on the wet-weather tires," he said. "They don't have such a tread depth and then they start aquaplaning -- these are all the things we have to take into account. We know that driving in the wet is not easy, but it never has been and there is no suggestion that we're doing it for any other reason than to try and make sure that the drivers don't aquaplane."
Series criticized by former drivers for running laps behind safety car on wet surface
Jacques Villeneuve, 1997 Formula 1 champion, is not surprised by the series' recent trend toward starting any wet race behind the safety car.And it has nothing to do with safety. The issue has arisen after the British Grand Prix, where spectators last Sunday were deprived of a normal start from the grid following a pre-race rain shower. "What do you expect?" Villeneuve said. "Most of them are still babies. If we want to excite the fans of tomorrow, we need heroes. Idols they can look up to and want to copy. "But what they see today are drivers who earn millions but are cowards hiding behind a safety car. What makes a Grand Prix driver so special is no longer coming through." Villeneuve also slammed the FIA stewards' post-race decision to penalize Nico Rosberg following the race at Silverstone receiving too much information over his radio, dropping him from second to third. "The Formula 1 governing body would annul the result of a (soccer) match because a corner flag is found to be five millimeters higher than the rest," he said. Former Ferrari and McLaren driver Gerhard Berger told German media outlet Auto Bild that he agrees that F1 has gone soft when it comes to racing in the rain. "If it suddenly rains on the highway, a normal driver doesn't stop driving," Berger said. "He simply adapts to the situation." However, while arguing that the Silverstone safety car period went on for too long, many drivers actually back F1's new approach to wet races.
Yeah I'm a JV fan but I don't consider him a rain master like Senna or MS. I think the only good race he had in the wet that was memorable was Barcelona 1996 with his four wheel drifts and third place finish.
