I have been thinking of sticking my toe into the world of blogging for some time now. I am not quite sure where I am going to go with this particular blog.
When I started this blog, I gave it the temporary name of treehugger in honor of my special relationship with trees. This special relationship goes back to when I was a small child seeking sanctuary in the higher reaches of the Norway Spruce trees next to our house. What seemed like a forest to a six-year old was probably only two or three trees. But they were my friends. And others have joined the ranks of my friends as the years rolled on.
I drove by that house several years ago and noted that the trees were gone. But they live on in my heart.
Today I live in another house in another state and a few decades have passed since I was six. I have a couple of Norway Spruces along with several other trees in my yard. I no longer climb trees. Being somewhat heavier than I was at six, I think that my friends appreciate that I love them from the ground.
I have since changed the name of this blog to random ramblings. Somehow this name seemed more fitting
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
