Thanx Mike. I look forward to staying in doors for a week..

I was at Pike National Forest this past summer. I seen fire damage to the forest.

It's really sad to see, but when it occurs naturally, one is not left with a sense of loss (not including property damage, and human health). At least in my case.

[MxRob]

Rain in So Cal what is this stuff? Lol B)

Hopefully there wont be any mudslides from this storm as there has been too much devestation here for a quite a while. peace

[Wolfie]
