One of the Legion-Wannabees got into a gunfight with a Ranger at Yellowstone. The Ranger will recover from his wounds, the Wannabee won't. Since he was never a member of the Legion he won't be remembered even after the NPS releases his name. The Ranger, on the other hand, is being toasted even as I type this. Apparently some ne're-do-wells in Pocatello got reckless with fireworks yesterday and started a brush fire DOWNHILL from a bunch of houses. The FD evacuated several of the homes and folks couldn't return for some hours. The FD also was very, very grateful to the goddess of the wind for not doing her usual thing and blowing her wind uphill, as that could have wiped out a whole neighborhood not too far from where we live. That would have also taken out Big Lots, Ridley's Supermarket, and AAA Office -- not to mention sparks and cinders blowing across and setting fire the the local Fire Station. If captured the FD will offer at least one of the reckless ones to the wind goddess as a suitable sacrifice. See?
