VA is burning too. Driving down RT29 I saw the top of a mountain on fire. Spectacular to see. I keep hearing that song “Fire on the Mountain” in my head.

I went back up north to MA about 5 years ago, and boy it did feel like you were in another country.
Driving , manners, I mean is it hard to open a door, or stand up for a pregnant woman on a train? Their elitist way of life, which is all fake. Even country music they frowned upon it. no boots, hats, unless baseball hats. Just a weird place

I don’t hate the people of Boston. However, I would not care to live there.

[Bratch]

Yeah, the Appalachian people embody "white privilege".

Yeh it rained all night at our house but we still have smoke today in our neighborhood so I don’t know how much rain the mountains got.

That is stupid elitist nonsense. Aside from their stereotyping and contempt, they are full of trash for wishing someone who didn’t vote their way to die.

yup - 1.5 inches overnight near Dahlonega. More forecast to fall.

They hate the South and the people in it. They think they are superior to us. The people here are the best and the friendliest you will find anywhere and we even treat rude liberals with respect, most of the time. I try to stay out of the tourist traps. The area where I live looks a lot like Townsend. This is the view from my front yard. This is not this year because we were too dry for much color. We have a 50-acre farm in some of the most beautiful country ever and it breaks my heart that so much is burning.

Like somebody else said. God's country.

That bearded smug mug to me says this is a millennial being “ironic.”

[JBW1949]

Yep...It is a beautiful place...We had a 200 acre farm with the back edge of dad’s farm being the Park border...

[pnz1]

Middle TN firefighters headed that way today to help out.

[JBW1949]

We raised Hereford/Angus crosses and Burley tobacco....

[Tennessee Conservative]

They will be much appreciated! I heard last night on the local news that we are almost 22” below normal on rain for the year. I hope next year is wet. Our farmers have been feeding their winter hay for two months now. I don’t know how that will turn out. Since we no longer have livestock we let our neighbor mow our place for the hay in the spring. Nobody got much of a second cutting. It just dried up.

[Tennessee Conservative]

Our farm had a tobacco allotment but we never used it. We raised Beefmasters and had horses before my husband retired. We sold the horses because I was concerned that I couldn’t afford to keep them on one salary and shortly after that we sold the cattle. Now we just have hay and a big garden but we usually let the neighbors mow the hay for the hay.

"Yankees laugh at fires in the south. Just like the Muslims laugh at Israel’s fires."

As that great yankee said "Birds of a feather, flock together".

Dollyworld has an on going research program to bring back the American Chestnut I sure hope that survives intact.

[Blue Collar Christian]

You’d think they would be all over this with their AGW, or whatever the acronym is now, agenda. They are wasting a great chance to show how Trump voters’ dismissal of climate change science is now costing them plenty.
