    I'm definently going there some time this year if not in the next two months. Maybe then you can get out for a little bit so we can totally meet and have an awkward "hey I kind of know you on the internet" talk.

    If I remember anything about meeting WAM for the first time (and I don't, to a great degree), it's that there was no awkward "Hey, I know you from the internet" period at first.

    I know that was a joke. It's never like that for anyone I meet after talking to online usually because I talk to cool people online.

    When the Queen meets people she is so rude, but she is so very polite about it. And that is why I wish to be the Queen. I can be a huge bitch but still be so nice.

    This wasn't any military, this was just stirring ashes and shitting on logs for two weeks in the forest. We call it fire fighting but we see fires about 3% of the time.

    I'm glad I got out of Yakima before it superheats. This weekend its forecasted at 100+

    I know thats nothing amazing compared to some other places but fuck you thats hot by my standards.

    While in Yakima I worked graveyard freight, and earlier in the year we got this big hot spell for a couple weeks. So I'm getting home at 9am as the sun is coming up and trying to sleep, with an east facing window on the second floor.

    Hot.

    Bright.

    Ugh.

    The first week was horrible. I felt like shit every night during my shift because I'd gotten 3 hours of sleep.

    We started trying to light fires with cigarettes, it was a pain in the ass. Not saying hey its okay to throw cigarettes everywhere But man oh man it was dry as fuck with lots of grass piled up, a lit cigarette and no flames.

    You want an easy firestarter?

    Collect the lint out of your dryer, roll it into a stick about the size of a cigarette, and cover half of it in candle wax.

    Then you just wedge it into dry grasses and sticks and light it. It will burn forever because of the wax, allowing you to build your tinder around that and get a nice clean fire going in no time.

    Alternatively you can take a cotton ball, roll it in some petroleum jelly and use that as a fire starter.

    It won't burn super hot or anything but will burn slowly enough to light your fuel wood on fire.

    In boyscouts we would set up bear bags up in the trees, but we were lazy and only put them about 6 ft high or something.

    We learned the error of our ways when sure enough a fuckin bear tore that bag open and ate all our shit. The back packing was cut quite short at that point.

    Boyscouts for me was mostly my buddy Dan and I going around and behaving like complete fucking idiots.

    We used to go jumping around logs and shit with hatchets, hacking at downed trees, would build fires unnecessarily huge, would always insist on having a fire regardless of the time of day. We'd stay up all night and wake up earlier to go tear-assing through the woods at dawn (in search of firewood).

    In short.... we were pyromaniacs with uniforms.

    I would say something along the lines of "Hey, we were probably in the same troop" but I am sure most troops shared the same pyromaniac attitude.

    A bunch of us ended up burning down a camp bathroom, holy shit did we get so much shit for that. There were no arson charges or anything because it was an accident. We didn't know that sticking hurricane matches in the outlets could cause a fire.

    We made up for it though by doing an ass load of community service for the park though. Our camping trips became "Clean up the park" trips.

    I used to light fires in my backyard underneath my parents recreational vehicle. I once burnt my hand so badly that I almost had to be admitted to the burn ward. But still, I am the one to go to when you need a fire light. And my dad ended up hiding the matches from my brother, who had an accident at scout camp, but let me see where they were hidden, in the cupboard behind the jello, and I got caught several times trying to burn down the tree in our backyard.

    At Camp Fife Dan and I got wind that we were hosting some other troops at our campsite for a big marshmallow roast and story telling with this crazy old dude who lived at the camp and had all kinds of rad stories about living in the woods like a frontiersman.

    We decided that Troop 528 was going to have the biggest, most bad-assed fire in the history of the Columbia Council (or whatever our regional code was). We were from Toppenish, a small-ass rural town near Yakima, and by God we were going to impress those concrete-camping city kids from Seattle.

    We amass our materials four hours beforehand and with hatchets and knives we proceed to craft our firewood, working it as the potter does his clay. Logs were split to precise measurements. Cross-beams were split (but not separated) to facilitate burning. Between two large pieces of wood, long as the fire pit was wide, we assembled a tiny mound of needles and things. Over this went our twigs, and ceder splittings, ect ect, layer upon layer, with a tunnel running straight to the heart.

    The moment of truth comes. The other campers are arriving, crowding around the firepit. The order is given.

    I produce a 9 inch "fireplace match" and strike it. Some of those city kids were impressed, having never seen a match as big or as long as that in their life. Under Dan's guidance I slowly insert the flame into the heart of the fire and touch the center. We both step back, pull our red military-issue berets out from under our lapels, and put them on our heads before crossing our arms and looking (for all the world) like complete badasses.

    The fire grows slowly, and then roars into life.

    A pillar of fire 8 feet tall knifes at the starlit sky. Kids are pushing benches back three... four... ten feet back from the blaze.

    Two hours later it was still, more or less, too hot to roast any marshmallows.

    After the Seattle kids left we got a rather stern talking-to from the adults.

    But Dan and I didn't care, because we were Artists and these people clearly did not understand. Besides, the lecture couldn't last too long - the adults had to go to sleep.

    And Dan had a half can of WD-40 left in his pack.

    Outside of my house (about three neighbors down) there were these people lighting off fireworks. The nice big mortar kind that go BOOM and flowery. The cool stuff that cities and many states ban. Anyway, they were having a good time and I was enjoying watching them light them off.

    Suddenly though we hear a terror scream, and a look out, and shit goes crazy. They are lighting a bunch off at a time, and I don't know if it was an electric lighter or what but that shit got tipped over and was aiming towards the house. Fireworks start ricocheting everywhere, hitting the cars, the house, the ground, fireworks are literally bursting everywhere.

    I am getting worried for these folks and partly pissed off, I am planning to go hang out with some friends not running to the aid of others. I start booking it over there as fireworks are just bouncing and lighting up their entire yard with colorful pyrotechnics.

    Once I get over there though I hear laughing and clapping and less screams of fear. Glad no one got hurt but damn, some peoples mother fuckin kids.

    (I have totally shot a mortar firework at my house)
