FYAH!

I built a big 'ol bonfire to get rid of some of the scrap wood from construction. I've been burning stuff for the past 2 days. I haven't been making big fires because I don't want to have to watch it, but tonight I built a huge one because it's supposed to rain. It's been looking like rain for a while, but we still haven't gotten any. . . hopefully soon! I don't want to burn the neighborhood down!
On the main road the fire department helicopter is parked on the lawn and nearby is the forest fire danger level. It's been elevated the entire time I've been here. It's like the terror alert threat, where they always have it up high, but every once in a while they lower it so that when they higher it again people will take notice. If something is always at high threat, people ignore it eventually. They should really start playing mind games with us like that with the forest fire alert so that people pay attention. Although, that doesn't help out with it comes to tourists, because they won't be here long enough to see the up/down. Oh well.

Gotta go tend my fire.
