We have an actual 1,300-acre “FIRE” burning here in Pagosa Springs, threatening homes and people and animals along County Road 335. It’s sort of a joke on the well-known expression “READY, AIM, FIRE” which tells us that we ought to be “READY”, and take careful “AIM”, before firing a gun. It will be my last for you…”He didn’t say, “Ready, Aim, Fire” because he was French. So take whatever I say about aiming, and firing — or firing, and aiming — with a grain of salt. If swords were still the weapon of choice, I could title my columns, “READY, STAB, AIM”.
