Mr. Bush, you cost lives everywhere you show up.

I am tired and cranky. I'm sick literally from the smoke. I've been told to evacuate a couple of times as have my horses. I haven't had much sleep which means my anger is much like when I PMS and I get really flat bitchy when I PMS.

I BLAME YOU for NO RESOURCES here to fight the fire. Your buddy Arnold makes it sound like all is well cuz we are getting tankers...WOW 6 TANKERS for 13 fires in SAN DIEGO COUNTY ALONE? Over 300,000 acres ON FIRE OUT OF CONTROL..may I please ask you what the FUCK 6 tankers are going to do?

Our National Guard and our resources are IN IRAQ...WHY? Do they need them more then MY STATE?

You are pathetic Mr. Bush, as are your advisors, as are all the politicians on Capital Hill. None of you live in reality, NONE OF YOU.

I am going to sign off now, you see, I am only ONE PERSON, but I have been taught about the POWER OF ONE (the GOOD POWER OF ONE, not EVIL LIKE YOU)and I need to get back out and breath in more shit air and try to save a horse or two and maybe help another human.

I know you WON'T LISTEN and will come here anyway, as will the politicians who want to grandstand. I only wish the MILLIONS spent on these photo-op trips would be spent to BRING IN FUCKING RESOURCES.

Oh, and Mr. Bush, if you and Laura and your cronies have time tomorrow...could you stop by Del Mar Fairgrounds and help clean 2400 stalls? Bring boots...oh that's right, you are use to wading through shit.

Sincerely,

Barbara

Dear Kos Community,

It was a tiring day. Thank you for recommending this and thank you for being an amazing group of individuals. Thanks to all keeping the "MotherShip" going...I can only pray that continues for the rest of the week, the tiredless commitment you've all made to do this is humbling me.

To all of you in the fire area..be safe, please. Tomorrow is another day, we will wake up and swear at Bush's arrival, but that too shall pass.

We will dust off our ashy bodies and rinse out our swollen eyes, cough up a lung from all we've breathed and go forward.

My horse got moved today and I'm breathing again. My Mom in Oceanside is doing well. Tomorrow I will decide what to do. I'll let you all know.

THANK YOU...each and everyone...and Kos, thank YOU for having this blog for all of us.

Peace. Barbara, Tirawa and Winston
