I told you we had snow. I’ll take that over fires any day of the week. I was just kidding with you, Kelly. Too bad you’re so sensitive today. I can understand you are upset, but I am not your enemy.
Yes occasionally we have rain and floods as well, but they don’t do the damage your fires do. It’s usually minimal. Once in a great while it’s worse than others, but where I live, we rarely have flooding and no terrorists, so far.
