News?

I get my news from AOL. This is admittedly ill-advised. However, with no TV, and no newspaper, it's my most up-to-the-minute media... Even if it is dial-up.
So, I was reading one of the headlines, the one below "Brittney is the reincarnation of Elvis." The one I was reading was about these wildfires in California. Have you seen this stuff? These fires are like: Hell has gone to the Beach. The Left coast is totally ablaze. It's really horrific. I am not joking, I was sick as I read about it. All the terrorists combined are not as effective as the Santa Ana winds.
I wonder why Brittney and her pitiful custody issues have any place in the headlines. People are dying, losing their homes, fearful for their futures. And we have Brittney Spears to sob over? Are you kidding? Don't get me wrong, I sort of care about this tragic young woman, but her story is not remotely relevant to my daily life. The massive destruction in California is.
God help those firefighters.

The kids and I have been transfixed watching the fire at dinner last night! Amazing to think of so many and so large and area! It is hard for the mind to grasp. My prayers are with those.....

And this has been the year for fires, look at what happend in Greece this summer! I was beginning to wonder if my retirement trip to Greece should have been a few years ago!

Cautiously I glance about my 100 year old wooden house - eepah! A stray match and this place could just as easily go up!

Let us hope some humidity, if not rain, is headed for the California coast.
