California National Guard trucks at the fairgrounds staging area in Yreka, California, August 13, 2014 while the Beaver Fire was burning northwest of the town. Some of these hauled firefighters in the back. Photo by Bill Gabbert.This weekend we are continuing something we started a few weeks ago. This post can serve as the beginning of an open thread where our readers can talk about issues that we have, or have not, gotten into yet. This is literally an off-topic thread.
The usual rules about commenting apply. And remember, no personal attacks, please.
So let’s enjoy a wide-ranging debate!
(Oh, and send us pics of staging areas — date, location, and photographer’s name would be nice.)
