    Florida's burning up

    not sure if it's my imagination, or a local unrelated fire, but this
    morning i could smell smoke in the air.

    there are some fires just south of Daytona Beach, so it might be possible:

    also, we've been getting some light rain up here since yesterday, so that may help

    Florida doesn't strike me as a dry state where wild fires are prevalent, but that's just a stereo typical view.

    Long after man is gone and his dams burst, the rivers will, once again, flow freely to the sea.

    If they stopped draining the everglades for more development... it wouldn't be so dry here.

    Just keep them away from the particle board condos/townhouses.

    By the way; what the hell is the difference between a condo and a townhouse anyways? Never could figure that one out.

    Actualy, the news said that the recent hurricains have greatly added to the problem. Their is now alot of dead timber all over the forest floors.
