Dan brubaker is a professional landscaper saying there is a perfect storm for fire danger. Because of the drought there is more ladder fuels. Grasses are more dry. Winds more strong. In orinda, signs read conditions moderate with you they require a watchful eye. All it takes is someone flicking a cigarette out of a car window. These grasses can just burn up the hill. And its like early 90s. The Oakland Hills fire burned for hours. Taking with it more than 3,000 homes and claiming lives of more than two dozen people. Like many, thoughing there are things in common with neighbors views, a ideal location and a need to keep the home clear of debris, and anything that could be a potential fire hazard.

Mastery gener master general . Theres no intention to do that, theyre not needed, sir. Did you discuss those changes or their potential impact on the election . I remind you youre under oath.

Todays hearing follows news this morning that six states and the district of columbia are filing a new lawsuit against the Postal Service over their concerns with efficiency and possible cutbacks as 20 states have now filed suit against those cuts. The fight over reversing the cuts is critical as we are now officially in the election, the general election campaign, with joe biden accepting the democratic nomination in a speech widely praised for not only attacking the president but presenting himself as the person who can take on four unprecedented crises at the same time. The pandemic, the economic collapse, the racial awakening and protests, and climate change. And what biden is describing a
