Colorado on fire

By Mustang Bobby

This photo is of the fire near Colorado Springs. To give you an idea of the scale, that structure in the lower left is the football stadium at the Air Force Academy. It seats 47,000.

This breaks my heart. I spent many happy summers in the Rocky Mountains, including in an area that was recently hit by a wildfire near Estes Park.

A couple of weeks ago, Mitt Romney mocked President Obama for wanting to hire more firefighters.
