Some of you have asked why I use Smokey Bear as my IM image and you're probably wondering why he's my chosen YouTube video. Here's the deal - my father-in-law was a career Forest Service employee and Smokey became something of a Lassen mascot. In fact, we visited Smokey's museum and grave in Capitan when we lived in New Mexico (it was a couple of hours from Las Cruces, where we lived). We have a couple of great pictures of us paying our respects to Smokey.
By the way, it's Smokey Bear, not Smokey the Bear. A good way to remember that is my father-in-law's explanation: my name isn't "Christie the Lassen" and it's not "Easter the bunny."
