A simple thank you to heroes

So let’s talk bravery cousins, simple bravery. We have all heard the words, we all know the meaning. Athena knows we all have faced things that have terrified us, and come out the other side.

But beloved, there are some who face things that terrify every living thing and come out the other side. Fire fighters are those who face a terrible hungry enemy who is gigantic and grows only larger if not combated. Any living thing with a hot red pump is secretly or opening afraid of fire.

An old alohaloa once told your own Metrowalker that fire is alive, that it has intelligence , and will actively seek to kill any fool who underestimates it. He once told your own uncle that fire once chased him up a staircase where there was no fuel to burn, when it could have roared into a room full of torchable cosas.

So short and sweet cousins, I would like to say thank you to all of you warriors who put yourselves in harms way to save stuff, and lives, and me. This bad ol city has experienced the worst wild fires it has seen in many years, and you have battled the monster with such bravery and courage that it has been relegated to the stuff of talking heads on the 2d, and worried casual discussion around water coolers.

I salute your valour, and your courage and if any of you should meet Uncle in the 3d, step up tell me what you do,and I will buy you a cold one and salute you like the heroes you are.
