Just discovered I misspelled magician at the top of the page! Nevertheless, Good Morning KoG! My dad taught me how to change the oil, filter, air filter, spark plugs and rotate the tires - many moons ago. On my first car, I was putting in too much oil and one lovely day, while driving 4 hours to Sacramento, my car quit - right in the middle of Interstate 5! Too much oil can cause serious issues. Perhaps WalMart would like to consider the liability if that happens to one of their customers??? Not only that, they're charging you for that extra quart of oil! Another point to consider: Mount Shasta's population is 3,400. I checked yours: 34,000 plus. I reminded Randy yesterday that in a small town, reputation is very important because word of mouth is a well-greased machine! Everything is based on relationship here. Which costs more to replace/repair - a vacant lot of land or land with a building on it and furnishings inside? In the long run, it pays to have bigger lots. The poor realtors don't get to make a killing. Too bad. Given normal size lots, 50x150, probably two-thirds of the homes would've been lost. In addition, most of the homes that burned were very old mill houses - built by the lumber companies for their employees, completely out of wood. I've learned also, that houses that DID have insulation, it was SAWDUST! Many of them had asbestos insulation, which necessitates HAZMAT crews to remove. And let's look at this from a population density point of view. High population density increases the danger to more lives. It also makes escape more difficult. I don't know what an equitable solution is. Our towns up here are dying. We've seen a huge increase in population and building and we've been on the decline for many years. We've lost industries that employed hundreds of people. Tourism depends on weather. We had NO ski season last winter. The lake was so low, very few people were swimming or boating. Revenues are DOWN. Unemployment is HIGH. It's not a pretty picture.
