After seeing multiple fire fighter flights dipping in Lake Pend Oreille, I called Timberlake. They informed me of a new fire at approximately Hwy 95 and Trails End. This would explain the heavy response for a heavily populated area near by.
Stand by.
Flag protocol specifically prohibits the wearing of the American Flag as apparel. Over Bayview Daze, there were hundreds flaunting that rule.
All of use veterans know better, but apparently it is not taught elsewhere. These actions do not reflect patriotism, but ignorance. Please stop disrespecting our flag.[
I carried several thoughts from Bayview Daze, The first was I don't think I've ever seen so many grossly fat peple in one place at the same time.
But what was facinating, was the peaceful day. With the exception of one young man lighting two firecrackers, who stopped when I yelled at him, not one boom was heard all day. Both residents and tourists behaved well during this hot dangerous weather. They are to be congratuated.
One thing happened for the first time in my 26 years living here though. I drove to church, then when I returned a woman had stolen my parking place while I was gone. She moved her car, but what nerve.
We were very lucky that the thunder storms stayed south of Bayview. No Fires, either man caused or not happened on our turf.
Have a great and safe rest of Summer.
