Can you grill on the 5th?
Yup, but no meat, adds to globalwarming..:=)
what the..............?
no BBQ in Texas?
Isn’t that another reason to secede?
If I know Texans, I’m pretty sure how I know this ban will be received.
Typically people drink the 5th on the 4th.
Better yet, grill it enough to get the flavor on the 3rd and heat it in the oven on the 4th.
While I agree with burn bans, this grilling ban on a single day is a bit ridiculous. It’s because everyone will be grilling and shooting off fireworks that day so there’s more of a chance of fires. The firefighters can handle one or two fires but if there’s more they won’t be able to get to them all and then it’ll be a disaster. We’ve also been having high winds more so than ever so that’ll send any flames on the dry grasses sweeping across the country.
We’ve had one bit of rain here since I don’t remember when. And that didn’t do any good since it dumped barrels in about 15 minutes and that was it. We were fighting to keep it from pouring into the house. Then it was just a run off so nothing much soaked in. We’ve had so little rain that we haven’t had wildflowers this spring and that’s unusual. There was a pasture fire a couple weeks ago that was out of control and people were evacuating their homes. We’ve been under a burn ban for months and I have trash piling up. It is a tinderbox here.
I live in Texas, just outside of Austin. We are experiencing the longest drought in many, many years—maybe the longest drought ever—across a great portion of the state. There was recently a grass fire not far from where I live that totally destroyed more than 11 homes, and damaged many more.In addition to that we have had weeks of 95+ degree weather, with strong winds that have dried us out even more. At this minute, there is another wildfire raging a few short miles from us, unless it has been put out in the past few hours and I haven’t heard about it.
Certainly we have freedom here—and most of us have enough sense not to fire up the barby for any reason at the present time. These rules/laws are for the idiots who don’t exercise good sense.
It seems that there are some here who just don’t get it.........It is going on 4 months now since we have had a drop of rain at my house. My home is situated so that we have a view of Lake Travis. At this time, what we have looks more like a view of the lake bed.
