From The Corner Of My Mind

* The wind is blowing from the Northeast over in the Ponder area. It is also drizzling rain. Chance of rain is 30% today.
* I watched the videos of that fire around Possum Kingdom Lake last night on all the major stations. It is horrific. They were reporting that the fire had grown yesterday to twice its size from the day before. It is now 153,000 acres large. If I have my math right, which I usually don't, that is 239 square miles.
* I helped fight the Jackerwise Fire. Here is part of an article I found about it.
((That fire season included the 16,000-acre "Jackerwise" fire that destroyed 55 homes, 86 buildings and 87 vehicles in parts of Jack, Wise and Parker counties.))
When I was on that fire I remember thinking just how big it was. Driving down 199 for eight miles and seeing nothing but burn area. I can't even begin to imagine 153,000 acres.
* Hopefully this wind change will push it back into the burn area and they can get control over it today.
* I heard yesterday that Possum Hollow was burned to the ground. I used to be known to hang out there a few times.
* After a whole lot of drama to start the week, I recieved some great news last night. A price increase on some of our equipment has led to me getting a pay increase. God works in mysterious ways. I laid it all in His hands yesterday.
* After Jar decided to start Tweeting, I started doing it again. So far it has mostly been him and I aggrivating each other. I'm going to add some Nascar drivers on there when I get the chance. I will bet that I lose Jar after that.
* Thanks for all the comments about the A Killing Time post. It seems the majority of my readers feel the same way. W-daughter wanted to comment and I am sure she will at some point, but I told her to calm down before she does.
* I was very emotional when I wrote that. Shut up Jar.
* Have a great Wednesday, see ya Around The Corner!
