FBI raising & suddenly fire erupts. Coincidence? Those crews were staging Monday night – how observant are the locals. Hope no one is hurt by the fire but that is one way to get rid of “evidence”.

Your allegation seems rather unlikely and a drastic method, to dispose of possible evidence, during a chronic drought year. A family could be left destitute.

Thanks for the informative photos.

Two cents has not kept up with inflation! If any thing, It has devalued to equal the 9/10ths of a penny you get on every gallon of gas you buy.
