It’s a joyous occasion when a newspaper makes a new hire, especially a copy editor. I knew our new guy, Kenny Ocker, would be perfect for the role after this exchange on Twitter.
Me: Bond and levy stories are hard.
Kenny: I daresay, they’re taxing.
Thank God that hideous neighbor Revolver bar, a real drunken screaming street-zombie magnet and all around notorious noise violation abuser, is now gone from Riverside!!! … a delighted resident of the Delaney Apts across the street… btw, reporting the Revolver’s ongoing, perpetual disturbances to the police had *no effect* at all… I guess our guardian angels had to do the job!

I must admit: everytime there is a commercial break before the weather segment, I play a tune on my laptop called “Sailing By.” Written by Ronald Binge, this tune is used as the opening music for BBC Radio 4’s late-night shipping forecast.
The hissing noise heard at a spokane tire shop is probably made by the earth crust collapse a developing earth’s Hot Spot. Its caused by magma coming up through a crack in the earth crust. Present is also heard sub sonic blasts, shattering, cracking and the searing of the aquifer water.
The area will be lava engulfed in a what was the Columbia Plateau Lava Flows. The magma is seven thousand degrees hot. Lava flows occurs here every twelve million years.
I’m not sure how it happens, but I get into the strangest conversations with people. I visited Deer Park Municipal Airport yesterday to meet the crew behind the Fire Boss, a fire fighting aircraft.
The pilot, Eric Johnson, says he scoops up about 800 gallons of water to drop on fires and there’s even a window in the cockpit where he can see the water in the hopper.
Johnson: I have a little window in front of my knees where I can see [the water]. If there’s a goldfish in there, I can see him swim by.
Me: Have you ever scooped up any fish?
Johnson: Not really, but it makes for a good story. I could have Fred the Goldfish. He could be my pet.
Me: Until you drop him on a fire.
Johnson: Well, he bites on a line and hangs on.

I’m finishing up transcribing Monday’s interview with DNR’s Guy Gifford from our educational nature hike on the lower part of the High Drive Bluff. One acre is being pruned by volunteers, but the rest of it still needs a lot of work. The vegetation is thick and could be a fire hazard.
Here’s a conversation I picked out from the 36 minutes of audio.
Gifford: Before European settlement, wildfire was an integral part of the Spokane County ecosystem. Some studies say that historically you could ride… Have you ever seen the tv show Bonanza?
Me: No, but I know what it is.
Gifford: Imagine Hoss riding his horse through the Ponderosa ranch. He had big trees and he could shoot bad guys from the distance. Can you ride your horse and shoot bad guys from the distance?
Me: It would be a pain in the —.
Gifford: You can’t see anything. Historically a lot of Spokane County was large trees with a small understory because wildfire came through every 8-12 years.
Also, Guy Gifford is a fan of Gifford Pinchot.
Impending eruption? At 3:27 and 4:51 in the N.E. Part of spokane there was heard sub sonic blasts combined with crust cracking and directly above thunder associated with the under ground earth’s crust collapse. Local news what does it mean? 1st question. If the news personal miss they get burnt alive in the earth collapse and hot spot. There is a international set of criteria listed in the U,S,G.S. site for the hazard level of eruptions its woe full.
The story I first broke news scope, and called talking to grace included the audible sound of the earth,s crust cracking. This mourning the cracking could be heard loudly tom and players at SYSA-Spokane Youths Sports Association riepen field. Woe a hot spot in the earth is developing which will plummet the city of spokane into the liquid magma core of the earth. Research columbia plateau lava flows which in past history engulfed from yellowstone park to the cascades in lava. The crust from Billings MT. to portland and tacoma are also cracking. The first sign was in Spokane in 1998 when deep under corbin park crust dropping could be heard and felt; cause a solar sun blast.
Spokane a volcanic hot spot like a powder keg with a lite fuse could errupt at any time. November 1998 under the corbin park area was felt the pounding deep underground of the collapse of the earths crust. Probable cause a intense sun spot. Since 1998 underground sub sonic blasts have been heard frequently.
