[Bo Zarts]

All is well with me in the PNW wilderness, I am happy to report. Lurking on DU as my power and bandwidth situations allow.

3. Wow. Thanks for this picture.

I have a semi-stupid question. I believe you are alone in your lookout tower. So when do you sleep?

5. Not to worry, I get my sleep!

Right now, I'm on a 10-hour duty day. As fire danger increases, and lightning comes, that will increase to dawn to dusk. But if fire crews are on a fire after dark, in my area of responsibility, I'll be up as long as they are on the fire. But I can only remember one time, a nasty fire in southern Arizona, where a crew (a hotshot crew, natch) stayed on a fire all night tending the fire line. I pretty much stayed up all night that night too.

10. Pacific Northwest native here..

Lived here for all of my 77 years except when Uncle Sam invited me to ride around on a big gray boat for six years.

My best regards to you for your part in protecting this incredible little patch of the Earth.
