Ooh... well. Ok then. ;-)

At least I still have the voices all to myself then...

Right now, they are telling me it's 5PM CST and it's time to go home and eat something yummy. Possibly something that goes good with a nice table wine.

I'll try and check in later...

It's actually not a joke...these high deserts have lots of stuff to burn; sagebrush, scrub oak and cedar, and then the pines and aspens as one gets to the higher elevations. The forest service is always looking for volunteers, and some fires start from spontaneous combustion.

It's strange where fires can start - I mentioned to KAC about peatland fires - peatland is basically a wetland, and yet the scrub (usually heather, I think) can burn like hell!
