When the various bigwigs came to Redding to look concerned and promise money, they all wanted photo ops with firefighters. One of the engines from Weaverville was dispatched to stand behind everyone and look patriotic. (It's not like they had anything better to do, what with all of the fires.) Rumor has it that a couple of the high spirited lads doctored their hands with Toxicodendron before their handshakes with the great leaders. Watch the politicos carefully, next time they are on TV. Is there a rash? A certain itchy stance? One can dream.
