I'm terrified of fire. I'm in a prime fuel zone. Surrounded by mostly pine trees & wooden buildings. I've been out in the mornings running the hose for the birds and critters.

It's so dry here that I'm worried about two random sticks rubbing together spontaneously. Forget about a man-made explosion.

Thanks for the laugh. ❤️ 👋
