I'm thinking of renaming this blog "The Beavis Blog," since all it's been about lately is "Fire, Fire, Fire!"

The meaning of those numbers has been lost to time, and the story behind them is an interesting one, to say the least, and tied to vigilantism in ...

It's a sculpture near where I took the fire photos, it's a guy (one of the Siebens or the Hilgers, I think. It's hard to read the interpretive sites when the kids just want to climb on the sculpture or rearrange all the gravel on the trail) holding ...

The smoke was much thicker today, and not as compressed by the cool air. This is the same vantage point as yesterday's photos.
If you're interested in keeping up on the status of this fire, you can find it here.

We took a drive this evening to have a gander at the Meriwether fire, burning up at the Gates of the Mountains. This is just one shot, you can find the rest here.

A while back, I posted a link to this story by Lieutenant Colonel M.R. Strobl who accompanied Chance Phelps to his final resting place.

In the comments of this post my SU alluded to the fact that we'd decided on a tit-for-tat. She'd give kimchi a try, and in return, I'd try some mushrooms.

Maybe we'll talk about the weather tonight. Let me get the formality out of the ...

This story is enough to make you either howl with rage, or weep in sympathy.
With a stroke of a pen, years of work and a person's livelihood is gone.
I've known Karen for a few years now, and I will say this: If there is anyone on this Earth who ...
