Order Tramadol Online Cash On Delivery Just returned from an afternoon at the Bastrop Fire Incident Command Center.  I wasn’t allowed to go into the fire zone but spent a lot of time talking to people who had lost their homes and volunteer staff manning the center.

Some of the more personal photographs I have seen come out of this disaster – quite a different point of view than the AP shooters and it is refreshing. Who are you stringing for down there?

We are battling the fires here in California too. Too fucking dry.
