rufus will squash him like a bug someday - will be sad - his daughter
will lose her father

rufus just thinks its a game

rufus is very gentle around the girl but he gets riled up around dad -
and thats a lot of mass to get riled up

think of rufus as the biggest dumbest meanest pit bull that you have ever seen

"park" maps for CT

https://ctparks.com/park-maps

also includes State Forests

?????? - surely they know the differnece between a State Forest and a
State Park - they are entirely different words - one starts with a P =
one starts with an F

we have no idea if they have forest rangers and park rangers - we
suspect its all one big happy family

pretty sure hat all the radio channels are shared between the state
forests and the state parks - more or less

fy 1995 to 2009 - they spent $181 million - no mention of where all
that money went - presumbably to purchase land

present staff seems to be 6 women office workers

they seem to be oriented towards land, water, air, night view conservation

if everything burns up - then they will end up with nothing
essentially - so you would expect that they would have an interest in
fire management
