Remember the old line, "It's so hot the air might ignite, like a thermobaric munition"? Maybe you think that's hyperbole, think again punters.
A friend's place caught fire yesterday afternoon while they were baling and it stopped, thank God, within 100 yards of their barn and house. In the meanwhile, some 300 acres burned; all it takes is a spark and massive failure to pay the Weather Tax. So be careful out there kids.
On topic, learned people from the UK keep sending me Lit suggestions, books to read, and that's a very fine thing except for the fact it's hard to read here as paper tends to ignite.

They are harvesting the dent corn across the street. Praising God no fires yet.
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe, stay cool and God bless.
We have serious fires going on in Post Falls. It's ugly and sad. The Parkway and Q'emiln (pronounced Que-el-em) Park fire is very visible from our house. https://www.khq.com/fires/parkway-fire-stays-at-80-acres-as-crews-are-able-to-gain-some-control/video_8747815e-33f1-11ee-80f4-b372d5116801.html
ReplyDeleteThe Hayden fire (Ridgecreek) is a bit further away, but still visible from our house. https://www.khq.com/fires/officials-say-ridge-creek-fire-isnt-going-away-anytime-soon/video_572ae77a-33f3-11ee-b204-93852d4b467b.html
We've been saying for 36 or so years it was just a matter of time. I guess the time is now. I've manage to keep a defensible area around our property, but many people have not. So far no homes or structures are lost.
Perhaps you could include us in your nightly prayers. Thank you in advance, Father.
God bless you.
Be careful out there, Linda.
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly pray and have been, Adrienne.
ReplyDeleteHave things calmed down?
Be safe.
