Texas is burning! Send us your rain or happy thoughts. We finally get a break from the 100 plus days that turned everything into crispy tinder, get a little wind and whoosh. There are active wildfires all across Texas, several within just a few miles of my house. Yesterday had a fire across the road that took out 3 acres and 2 houses now there is a much larger ones taking out entire neighborhoods and even a primeval forest around Bastrop. Fire Activity

We need the rain though!! This was the hottest summer here on record. Nasty.

This heat is no joke. Makes me want to consider moving elsewhere.

Chris | As someone who lives in Central NY and deals with the same long winters I have to know what "fenderbergs" are.

My thoughts go out to everyone in Texas. Good luck. |

I woke up to go to work today and heard sirens all about. Leaving work I saw smoke coming from 2 different location in the hills above our house.
Must not have been enough rain to saturate the ground.

It finally started cooling down, and has been a nice 67 deg's yesterday and today. Now maybe I can finally get out to ride my bike.
