Since this is a place to post your thoughts and comments, I think I will take a minute to say something about the fires that ravaged northwest Kerr Co. today. The large fire that shut down I-10 and burned down a home was about a mile away from where we own property and have our cows. When we first heard of the fire, all I could think of was those poor animals and how we would find them burned to a crisp like the ones that suffered the same fate in the panhandle a few years back. Thankfully, the fire was put out before it reached our property, but continues west even as I type this. Now, I know some fires are truly accidents, sparks from machinery, or freak accidents, but there are a surprising amount of fires that are started by idiots that don't know any better, and some that do. For instance, last weekend a fire was started from some yahoo driving down the highway shooting roman candles out the window of their truck. I'm sorry, but if this fire was started by someone they are just an idiot. And I have little to no tolerance for idiots. They are the ones that give fire a bad name. For those of us who try to use fire in a prescribed manner to help manage habitat these idiots are the bane of our existence. So let me just say once more (and for those that know me, you already know this)...
No tolerance for idiots!... Use a little commen sense out there or stay in the house!

Amen. We had a grass fire pretty close to our house this week, and it was believed to have been started by someone throwing a cigarette out of their car window. I would say I don't know what people are thinking, but it seems like they just aren't thinking.
Glad everything turned out okay for y'all!
Hey Girl, I think you would like LOST. If you check out abc.com, I think you can download the episodes for free. Or, if you ever get a chance to rent them, do it! It's fun to watch them back to back. It's a big mystery on a desert island!
dear me, i just realized i misspelled common in my 'bold' sentence at the end. talk about common sense!
