Remarks:
Hello,
I feel lucky that the forest fires aren't darkening my sky since I live
near the Sequoia Nat'l Forest on the Kern & San Bernadino county line.
However, just about every weekend there's a new fire out here because
'city slickers' come out to camp and carelessly burn down the hills.
Sheesh... I sound like an old curmudgeon. I'll shut up now.
Clear skies to you all.
-SID!
