WILDFIRE


Today was hot and hazy and smelled of smoke the livelong day. Southern Georgia is ablaze, over 82,000 acres have gone up in smoke and the reek is more than a little strong here in north central Florida.

The kooks of course are walking outside then rushing immediately back in to call their local foundation-savers, and the neighborhood news channels are awash with pleas not to do so, which means monkey-see, monkey-do-so and the engines have today been a-roarin'. We just wish those damned northerners would put the bloody fire out before the stink reaches Orlando and chases the New Englanders home before they spend all their money.
