I totally agree!

I know! I've got one ear on the news! Thanks,
Bob!

Thanks, Gil! There are several fires burning
here today. We are just so dry and there were
wind gusts into the 60 and 70 MPH range in
some places, plus it was still unseasonably
warm. None of that helps. We could surely
use some rain! The fire in my photo is about
15 miles away and the other close one is about
11 or 12 miles away, but that one is smaller.
I'll be listening and watching. I hope you don't
get any near you and I hope we both get
some precipitation of some sort.

I know what you mean about the wind..there was
so much dust in the air today, it was brown,
and I could smell dust in the air inside the
house, too. The wind has died down now and it's
not supposed to be windy tomorrow, thankfully,
so maybe they'll be able to get a handle on the
fires! I sure hope so! Thanks, Gil!
Thank you, Approvers!

Thanks, Wanda! I'll watch out!

Thanks, Elaine, Mary and Eileen!

This is the bigger of the the two that are
still burning today. Now there has been one
person found dead (didn't say how), homes have
been destroyed and it is up to 3,000 acres.
When I went to bed last night it was several
hundred acres. There are a lot of firefighters
here from all over the place and we will not
have the high winds we had yesterday, so I hope
they can stop it. Right now it is zero
percent contained.

It is pretty far from me, 11 miles or so, and
there are none of those horrible winds todat,
either. They have a LOT of firefighters there
today, along with some air support, so
hopefully they will get control of this fire
today. Thanks, Mary!

Thanks, Tom! I will!
