You live near the fires? Ohh that sucks. My uncle lives in LA and my mom's a little worried. I have a few friends on the cross country team who went down for the big meet. When they came back (yesterday), one said the air was all smokey and 15 races ended up getting cancelled.
Ooh no one else knows, but I heard that all the colleges and universities are shut down except for UCSD. Is that true?

Some assholes keep lighting it up According to the news the fires were all brush fires...that is to say, acts of nature, not arsons.

The fire is about front-page news here in the northeast... and I also read that some of the fire's are suspected arson cases and not natural... pretty sad stuff...

story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20031029/us_nm/environment_fire_dcSummary: Wildfire might become apocalyptic if it reaches the dead trees in the San Bernardino Mountains. It has burned the area equivalent to the state of Rhode Island At least 18 people have died and more will probably be found as charred remains when rescue workers go in. There are more than 12,000 firefighters for 9 major fires and 8 offshoots from LA to the US-Mexico border. Davis is predicting by the time the fire's put out, it would be a nearly $2 billion damage. The president declared it a state of emergency in four counties. People are hoping that once the weather cools down over the next few days, the fire would slow down.

I am glad I live in Wisconsin sometimes, and this is one of those times. After all, we never have fires, earthquakes, mudslides, riots, recalls, or anyother problems of that nature. The only problem seems to be that Wisconsin is boring as hell. ;D

[glow=navy,2,300]We had been getting less and less snow until last year. Last year was hell here. Well, actually the opposite of hell since "hell is hot".
Anyways, at one point he had over 3 feet of snow on the ground and snow drifts to 10 feet! It was snowing constantly! We had to have about 10 snow days! We had one whole week off! And the ocean close to the shore was frozen for a few miles (well, not frozen enough for you to walk on it, but it had ice).[/glow]
