Good point - when I wrote that previous post, the fire hadn't begun in California. It's very common for southern California to have bad brush/forest fires, partly because the area is naturally quite dry and partly because the environmentalists won't let people cut down trees (on their own property!) or clear away the thick undergrowth which is the main fuel once the fires get going.

Good one, MA!! The environmentalists sound the same as they are here - the fires here wouldn't have been as bad if only people were allowed to clear away some (not all) of the vegitation on their land. There's a fine line to tread when people live in rural areas (unfortunately). By the way, I'm winning...

How's winter going for you, KK? It's starting to heat up here - we've had our first couple of days of over 30 degrees C here in Nashville....

winter's great!!! (woo hoo) this weekend is a long weekend (Victoria is celebrating the Queen's Birthday - even though her birthday is really in April), and this weekend is the start of the snow season. So it's nice and cold, and rainy.... I love winter....

Hope you enjoyed your long weekend! I remember that the Queen's actual birthday is in April, but she decided the official celebration should be in June when the English weather is better. BTW, I'm winning....
