Apart from the effect on pets, there’s a thing called fire. Some of us live surrounded by 60 foot conifers and idiots with pyrotechnics and beer.

But hey, it’s all about them.
From where the stupid kin set off their crap to here, it’s just a quarter mile ridge of dead, dry jack pines.
There are no hydrants out here and getting firetrucks up narrow dirt mountain lanes isn’t gonna happen.
Last week I was on my way down the mountain and somebody’s home was in full blaze.
The fire trucks were sitting across the road, firemen just looking on, because getting up *that* lane with those trucks was impossible.
They just let it burn.
