One of the DUmp's most heroic make-believe soldiers, DUmmy DUmoTex, inventor of the 5.56mm anti-tank rocket, is coming down from his summer gravy perch. He's a foxhole buddy of DUmmy numbersBoo, the imaginary hero of Hamburger Hill.
Of course, with satellites, drones, HD-CCTV, helicopters, and God only knows how many other types of surveillance, there's no longer any purpose served by having a government lackey drinking in a tower, but someone has to suck up that federal sweetness.
Their jobs are as important as those guys who live in lighthouses. Oh, wait...

Last night in the lookout tower for 2012!
Everything is shut down and secured. I'm in my sleeping bag typing on my iPad. The temp
is headed for the teens. And the wind is howling. I'll be leaving the lookout at 1500 (3 PM) tomorrow for Bend.
I'll have a performance review, and then retire to a beer hall with some wildland firefighters. We will drink hearty, in our nomex
and blue jerseys (but, please, no yellows!).

Uh-oh, DUmoTex, you said the secret word. Now the crazy bald dwarf is going to come down and make the thread about her.

7. Our (used) brush jackets
were washed and line dried this morning. (A local fire department gave them to us... used, but fine for what we do)
We are ready for the next... and it will come, of that I am sure.
You did well my friend... drink a beer for those of us who will still be getting a nice lungful of smoke this fire season... (Bandana and all)
Whenever a patch of dead grass catches fire, nutcase nadin will be waddling nearby, with her nomex and the Good Rig

I wonder if gnads knows that al Qaeda is planning on setting fires as part of their terror attacks.

I wonder what the job is like. Sitting by yourself on top of a mountain all day, I'd probably finish college by the time the first summer was over.
