Hey folks,
At the top I want make certain that the couple folks I’m chatting with on trades near completion right now I’m going to prioritize getting those done ASAP. I should be able to resolve that stuff within the next 24-48 hours as this is more of a “just in case” notification for the league given that the offseason activity is ramping up.
I work as a forester and as such, a part of my job duties includes responding to wildland fire. I’m not one of the frontline responders, however those of you in the southeast like myself may have noticed that fire activity has been particularly high over the last couple weeks. Thankfully we’ve got rain in the forecast but sadly it’s looking like it won’t be enough to move us out of drought conditions and the frontline folks are running ragged which means I’ll be more involved for the foreseeable future. Fire activity tends to calm down here around late December or January but with how this fall is going that reprieve may not come.
I’ll likely be as responsive as usual for the time being (on call for today due to the increased wind ahead of the cold front bringing rain but not the weekend as of right now) but may suddenly be hard to get ahold of with little notice so I want to be proactive rather than reactive and let you all know now.
When the time comes, let me bid on Ohtani before I’m priced out just so I can say I did. One more thing we all know the real A’s won’t do. (Kidding, I’m very excited to see how all that unfolds).
Thanks y’all! If you’re also in a high fire area, please stay safe!
