Hopefully that doesn't happen. Glad they're getting some containment on these things. Hopefully some of the rain and cold up here will move down there.
Forecast shows chance of rain next Thursday O.O Could y'all set up some fans to get it here quicker?

morning :) how are you guys? It's smells like smoke up here which isn't new, but now it's kind of red outside, which is.
We are good right now :) I did wake up to no Facebook and started to head towards a bridge but then FB came back so I decided to stay. :LOL:

Yeah.... not burning entire neighborhoods right now but they can't stop them. One of the smaller ones in Napa was 65% contained last night though so that is something. The winds are going to come in from the North today so that puts us in real danger for the first time. Has to jump a river though so idk, it has jumped highways pretty easy so a river could be done I guess.
I don't know if they are still done but Mexico used to do control fires not that long ago and they still might do them. We'd get air warnings in Houston because the Mexicans were burning their Opium, oops I mean veggie fields. The idea was that this got rid of much of the old stuff and gave good ground cover almost if not like top soil for the new crops that were coming. Getting rid of that old ground cover is what keeps forest fires from started is how I understood it and give the next crops good nutrition.

CalFire does control burns often. One of the biggest issues that is coming out in the open now is the removal of "fuel" from the forests etc etc that gets fought and blocked by the fucking environmentalists ffs

Those of you with garbage speeds do you happen to have Spectrum?
complain through their chat. Most of the time its just a matter of tightening your connections or resetting everything. They always offer to send someone out but its a pita

Shit, that's why they weren't popping up for me? That's sad. I looked forward to those.
Most are masters now, but sometimes she still posts a few that aren't. I'm not really sure why she did that all of a sudden.
