I will be very glad when the fire season is over. I'm tired of the worrying. Last night I was in the shower when I heard some thunder rumbling. Damn!!! I jumped out of the shower, got dressed and ran outside. There was a heavy cloud off to the north east, where my land lays, and low and behold I see a couple of very light lightning strikes.<br />n<br />nI jumped on the 4 wheeler, I've been told the hired man is sick but have no more information than that after his trip to the emergency room so a pickup is not necessary, to go check things out. Luckily it turned out there was a lot of rain in the cloud which was the source of the lightning. Over at the other place it was flat muddy it had poured so hard.<br />n<br />nThe moisture made me feel better since there would be little chance on an <em>immediate</em> fire start. There is no saying there might not be something smoldering that will take off today when it warms up to 100 degrees so I will have to keep a close "eye on the sky" to watch for smoke.<br />n<br />nIt's going to be a long couple of months before the fire season is "over." Lots of time to worry.<br />n<br />n<strong>To understand is to perceive patterns. Isaiah Berlin </strong>
