Hum, can I trust #smokeybear ?
He says that the fire danger near me is moderate. #NorthBendWA
In Liberty Wa NE of #CleelumWa , he says the fire danger is low.
That's nice to know.
Us humans must behave too. :)

As of yeterday's dollar bin sale, I have a new claimant for Oldest Book in My Collection™

The True Story of Smokey Bear was originally published in 1960, reprinted nine times, and even had a Spanish-language version. This is the 1964 reprint.

:(
FYI: About 15 days back, #SmokeyBear here in #NorthBendWa had the fire danger at low. A week ago Friday it changed to moderate & now this weekend were up to high.
That was a quick transition. It did feel like summer last week. Shorts weather & 2 bee stings in one day.
I'm thankful 4 the rainy weather we have had for the last 24 hours.

Make it your goal to extinguish hot coals. If your campfire is to hot to touch, it's too hot to leave!

The artist James Montgomery Flagg, who had created the famous Uncle Sam, WWI recruiting poster in 1917, also created a fire prevention poster in 1937. Smokey Bear was created in 1944 as the benevolent protector of forests from carelessly-set wildfires. Finally in 1985 the Ad Council invoked Flagg’s appeal to conscience again, this time with Smokey pointing his finger at the viewer. So familiar was the imagery and the slogans, that “ONLY YOU” was necessary. #smokeybear #firehistory #wildfire

Smokey Bear looks like he is still in shock from seeing 80,000 Burners attending Burning Man a couple of months ago! Easy boy, they've all left...for now.

Look, Smokey Bear is, in fact, a bear. So it’s okay to call him Smokey the bear as well. So calm down.
