sleepless night

[Kurt]

Good to hear Jim. When passing through your local a couple weeks ago looking at all the brown grass made me think what would stop the fire from a careless motorist tossing a lit cigarette out of the window the way the wind was blowing.

If I lived in a location where wild fires are common I would trench in some plastic tubing and put sprinkler heads a couple circles around the homestead perimeter to dampen down the grass wide enough for a fire break.

When I was down in North Carolina in the service several times our whole battalion would get called out to help the forest service fire fighters. My hat is off to those guys that do this. It's a tough job.
