Robin visited with her Mom yesterday and they discussed the prescribed burn that has begun to burn out of control in Wind Cave National Park just north of where they live. "Yes Grandma had an opinion!"

I will share mine... the Tatanka Hotshots have been called in to fight the fire. But how did it start? The NPS "Potshots". Potshot is defined as "a shot fired in a careless way!" Oh yes the Potshots work for various institutions, but I am amazed at how many work within the halls of our government.

I am well aware of the trials that come with stewardship of the land. We fight pestilence and fire as well. I am not here to "Cast the first stone". I am just calling for these government institutions to be called into responsibility just as we in the private sector.

My carelessness with my property may cost me money and resources from the onset. My carelessness may even cost others eventually. Without a doubt the mismanagement of our public resources costs us all. Let us not be tolerant of the actions of the "Potshots"
