Thanks for the ping. I haven't heard of any fires on top of the Caprock, have you? A lucky thing, since the wind was 40+ mph today.

Fire In Callahan County
Volunteer fire crews from Baird, Clyde, Eula and the Texas Forest service battled a large brush fire near Interstate 20. It happened around 2:00 in Baird near FM 2047. Officials say a man was trying to weld a fence, when sparks started a fire that soon raged out of control. Officials tell us they had a hard time accessing the fire because of the rough terrain. Crews in other parts of the Big Country battled fires in Haskell and Eastland Counties. All counties in the Big Country except for Sterling and Scurry are under a burn ban.

No, I haven't either.
