That may be, but if it is, it's way south of us. Nothing out there...

Tried that. They caught on. Unless I'm actually asleep, they make me do stuff to actually EARN my pay. The sheer audacity of our management team is astounding. This has gotta be a civil Rights violation or something.

That's good. There's a couple of fires up by Winnemucca, but nothing that close to Las Vegas as far as I can tell...but this fire near San Bernadino is the first BIG monster fire of the year. somewhere between 30-40,000 acres and growing. and it wasn't even 6,000 acres this time yesterday...

Loud and roaring....this is a conflagration, self-driven fire storm type fire. And as long as the weather is so good for fire, it'll grow like a monster.

I am a fire-tracking enthusiast. Awed by them, amazed by them, glad I am not living in the path of this one.

I like loud noise. I used to fall asleep in my barracks room with the stereo blaring away "way back when...".

I've just got a half hour to go before escaping for the day...

Noise doesn't bother me too much - I couldn't work in a job I'm in if it did.

When I was in hospital though, noise drove me mad!!

The worst we get over here are peatland fires - but they usually happen in spring - probably because of dry grass.

I have been busy the past few weeks and posting very little except on weekends.

I am working on the Christmas Specialty Drink numbers (aka Eggnog)
