Re: Fire I'm wondering what your fire situation is like compared to the California fires we had many years back. 90 deg heat, 50 Mi/hr Santa Ana winds and pyromaniacs running around all over the place. Our swimming pool had 2in of ash in the bottom every day for a week. Pool cleaners were at a premium that year. (I will refrain from any jokes since I know smoke signal/DSL analogies are not allowed here) -Eric Eric- It's not pyromaniacs, our problem is No Rain, 100 degree Temp. A HIGH over the Gulf, and thunderstorms which produce 5 minutes of rain, yet throw Lighting Bolts like Jiffy Pop Popcorn popping. (Fla lightning capital of the US.) An on Shore Breeze one day, then out of the west the next. You know it's bad when they close I-95 from Jacksonville to the middle of the state where I live. This leaves one main corridor for all the Tourists heading north or south I-75/FL Turnpike. Guess how fun it was to drive home Sunday from Tallahassee this holiday weekend? Luckly not that many homes have been destroyed, but that statement only makes it sound like it is not as bad as it really is..... Nearly 2,000 fires have burned in Florida since Memorial Day Weekend, plaguing all of Florida's 67 counties, burning 458,000 acres and destroying or damaging 222 homes and businesses. msnbc.com Now it's to for me to go get sick, Yahoo up +$21 today. At least they live up to their name. Waiting to see what La Nina brings! JW@KSC

Our swimming pool had 2in of ash in the bottom every day for a week. This brings to mind the Mt. St. Helens explosion. Ash that thick over 2 states. Mother naturre at her most cavalier. At least with the fires bi-peds can take a lot of the blame. Speaking of bi-peds breaking your heart, I saw The Truman Show last night and what might have been an absolutely brilliant movie had such a flawed ending, it missed by a mile. Later -- Pat
