That's what they blamed the Colorado fires on until it was determined otherwise. Gun owners, guilty until proven innocent.

(Something they don't want to talk about, but have you noticed the size of the radiators at the back of the 'house'?) <br /><br />(Bad thing about the possiblity of windmill fires is NO fire department in this area has the equipment to even REACH the unit or 'house' mounted 135' up in the sky. They've already decided to let them burn down. Which with our present drought should make life extremely interesting for more than a few folks.)<br /><br />I guarantee you more than a few in the local fire fighting services are thinking about and not sleeping well at night because of the above...<br /><br />All The Best,<br />Frank W.

For me there are several immediate benefits. I've only mowed the lawn twice this summer. The work on the new IN-25 is progressing very nicely, which will probably cut twenty minutes off my daily drive. The toilet hasn't run slowly from the septic tank being full. <br /><br />But it would still be nice to have some rain.Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604826633798229422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-37986604323217419732012-07-13T10:11:19.355-04:002012-07-13T10:11:19.355-04:00here in Lower Alabama we have plenty of rain and a...here in Lower Alabama we have plenty of rain and a high in the 80's today. care for a visit? :)Critterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452486400885521156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-37984109467609855702012-07-13T09:51:58.010-04:002012-07-13T09:51:58.010-04:00(I was going to try to work a pun involving the wo...<i>(I was going to try to work a pun involving the word "habit" in there, but nun came to mind.)</i><br /><br />First of all BOOOO!!!
