To be serious for a moment, some rain might be good. Our fuel moisture
levels (amount of mositure in things that might burn...trees and such) are
the lowest in 31 years and we are expecting a horrid fire season this year.
We have already had a few wildfires-one in January which is very rare for
here. I just had a wonderful time eating smoke last Sunday on a small fire
that we had-only 10 acres or so. All we need is some wind and away we will
go. After monsoon is going for a few weeks, we should be in better shape.
As it is now, we are quite nervous and some rain might not be a bad
thing...if is is around full moon!
