I live in north Texas, and I work with several people from a couple of
fire areas, I won't find out until Tues. how they are doing. I saw the
smoke from one before I found out about all of them. I live in the country
and we have cracks in the ground you could fall in. Who would be stupid
enough to burn in 25 mile an hour winds even if the burn ban wasn't on????

Head butt to you and yours, Lisa.

Just like I've learned not to ask "How can it get any worse?", I've also
learned not to ask, "How stupid can some people be?", because you *will*
be shown! ;

Speaking of stupidity. They announced that people who shoot off guns on new
year's eve here in Houston will be arrested and convicted. They put a
reporter on the street to get people's reaction to this announcement. One
woman actually said, "Oh I know that bullets shot into the air can come down
and kill people, but it's a tradition in our family to shoot off a gun on
new year's eve, so we're going to do it anyway."

AARRGGHH!!!!!

Some of you may have heard that we're having problems with brush fires
here in Texas. The governor has likened the state to a "tinder box"
because it has been so dry for so long. They speculate that the cause
of the brush fires are people ignoring the burn ban.

Because of this aerial fireworks have been banned in Harris county
(Houston and surrounding areas), and all adjacent counties. I'm
*REALLY* hoping that people obey this ban, but just in case we're going
to soak our roof down with a hose tomorrow night. [I've never liked the
simple "bang" type firecrackers (Black Cats and Cherry Bombs), although
I like to watch a choreographed fireworks display.]

The girls are also hoping that they won't have to be disturbed by all
that whistling and banging outside their house.
