There's a big wild fire burning, not far from the town I live in and it has gotten within 25' from a sub-division of 45-50 homes. So far the firemen have been able to keep it at that point and they're hoping to be able to keep it that way because that's the direction all the wildlife that lived in the area is running to escape the flames. I just saw a video of a large herd of deer running for their lives. It gave me a huge lump in my throat. This stuff has just GOT to stop soon!! Yesterday Griffith Park was in flames again. There's ALOT of really dry chaparell down in that area and that stuff will flame up in a split second. After the big fire they had down there in May, you would think that they would have at least tried to clear the rest of that stuff, but ohhhh nooooo! They decided that since there had already been one fire there wasn't anything to worry about. Yeah right! Now the observatory and the old-fashioned carousel are in danger -- again! Ok, will quit yammering on about all of this. But, would you please say a few prayers about all of the wild fires out here? The way things are going this year, we won't have to be concerned about breaking off from the continent during an earthquake. The state will just be incinerated. |
