What happened with the fires Sherry

Still cropping up all over, but none near us in since the big one.
Today there was a major fire in the NE part of the state. I am of
course grateful that no one died, and very saddened for the people who
lost thier homes. But aside from that, I just can't help thinking about
all the bunnies, terrapins, other assorted critters. The fire Thursday
burned up 35 cattle.

I'm all for Mrs. Halonen too. Haven't followed the campaigns in any
detail but I just don't like the other candidates that much.

I finally spoke with my friend today. All her animals did die in the
fire. She had gone only a few miles to take her son to piano lessons,
got a call on her cell phone that a grass fire had broken out. Within
15 minutes she was home, and house was engulfed. So sad.

Oh shoot, how horrible. I can't imagine living with that, even though
there was nothing anyone could have done.

At least they are all safe at the bridge now.

So is it true that US talk show host/comedian Conan O'Brien really had an
impact in helping your current president pull ahead? It's been reported in
the local media about Conan comparing his appearance to your incumbent being
a running gag, even that fish commit suicide at the mention of the
opponent's name. Seemed like a funny bit, even talk that Conan will go to
Finland for a visit this year.

It did attract a lot of media attention, but she was very popular even
before that, so I don't think Conan had such a big impact on the
results. In fact, it had been predicted that she would get more than 50%
of the votes in the first round, so she'd have been elected directly,
but she didn't. Conan's show is on cable, so not that many Finns can
even see it.

So sorry to read this. I worry a lot about this as you probably
can tell by the stickers I made. At least we as humans can try to get
ourselves out of a burning house, but the animals depend on us to
open a door. If we're not home, they're up sh!ts creek.

My condolences to your friend for her losses.
