While we were out.....

......feeding the convict fire crews in Big Sur:

George Carlin died.

Everyone had their two cents (Olbermann, O'Reilly, Fox, Jon Stewart).

Far and away the best and most touching was Stephen Colbert. In his anti-hero role he pretended to think that Carlin was reponsible for having the famous seven words banned. His "Word" segment pointed out the absurdity of "tits" being banned, while "boobs" is fine. At the end of his bit he turned to a picture of Carlin and said: "Thank you.....and goodbye, motherfucker!"

"Motherfucker" was not bleeped.

Enjoy:

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the great grub at Molera. Me and my crew were roughing it (at Deetjens) for about 40 straight hours without a real break. Fire Watch and napping are hell when you hear huge redwoods crashing all around...
Thanks again for your support to the firefighters in yellow and orange!
Steve
