Eath Module prepped for Blast Off Today

The Commander has issued orders to prep the Earth Module for blast of on Wednesday.  All systems must be flushed.  The module must be disconnected from electricity and water.  For some strange reason it must be cleaned thoroughly.  In order to land first in Denver, and then in North Dakota a window of weather must be found.  At this point it looks like we can make Denver.  Giving up the weather on Planet Arizona will be difficult.  However, AZ is beginning to heat up.

All our Forest Service documentation, tools, and extraneous material needs to be returned.  Working for the government is a good experience and everyone should try a stint of volunteering.  The biggest myth that would be busted if more people participated is the myth that the government is so inefficient. Yes, there is waste, but most of that waste is caused by overzealous congressmen that create problems for the agencies.  For example:  A small well built pickup truck would serve The Forest Service well, but the government does not want the same Toyota pickup that terrorist use to be purchased because they are not made in America.

One thing Kadizzle learned while working for the Forest Service is how effectively they use their people.  Fire Fighting is a major part of The Forest Service.  The people who normally have other jobs are all trained to be on call for forest fires.  In fact Forest Service employees are sent to help with disasters like the one that occurred in the hurricanes in New York, and Louisiana.  The most important thing for the public to learn is how much gets done by the government with so little.  Over half the people taking care of the national forest are volunteers.  Once reason volunteers are so essential is because conservatives want to starve the government.  Starving the government means these forest, and these facilities will not be here for the next generation. No one ever wants to starve the military, where the real waste is.  Imagine what could be done for one trillion dollars.  That is the cost of the failed F-35 foisted on the Air Force.

The people we have worked with who are working for you as government employees work hard.  They get to work by 6 A.M. so they can avoid the heat.  They work on weekends because that is when you are here, and it makes their whole operation more efficient.  The managers work in the office, and drive the garbage truck.  The area we are working in would be a disaster if not for the prisoners.  Three days a week the prisoners show up to do the nasty and hard work.  So the next time you visit a National Forest think about who picked up the garbage, who cleaned the restroom (it was a volunteer doing it for free) and who cut all that brush that makes the place usable.

Our buddy Cliff on our trail crew also cleans the rest rooms.  He is amazed by the pigs that make a mess.  Twice people have defecated in the urinals.  Cliff has about had it with some of the pathetic humans that inhabit our planet, but there are also dedicated good people that make it work.
