    We could use a bit more rain right now. I'm getting tired of leaving work
    smelling like a well used fireplace overdue for a good sweeping.

    The rain would help contain/extinguish the fires and just as importantly
    would take the ash and smoke out of the air.

    Besides, another started up north that they can go play with. Out with the old, in with the new.

    I did have to laugh this morning. A guy told me that his brother who lives back east said one of the theories of how this fire started was that a hiker got lost and started a signal fire which burned out of control. Sounds reasonable until you realize that where this one started would be more like camping in your backyard than wilderness. You could trip and fall and land in town.

    I was working at Brookhardts Lumber in Woodland Park when the Hayman Fire was raging... wore face masks a lot of days.

    I thought about that but this ugly face comes in mighty handy uncovered for running the transients off.

    Is global warming/cooling kicking in?
    Anywhere but Texas. Why, everyone would drown if that were so. I mean, where do you think that water will go while they stick their heads in the ground??
