Hi dittomom, I've been away from the tele for quite awhile, and before that, on the phone. Can you give me an update on the fire? I would appreciate it.

Watching Channel 12 (NBC affiliate) right now. Sounds like the fire slowed down this afternoon and has only just barely made it to western Show Low.

Earlier they had a debate between a Sierra Club guy (Rob Smith) and a female Governor of Montana. The Governor got to him when she said that what was going on in Arizona was Environmental Terrorism. He immediately assumed she was accusing environmentalists of terrorism and told her to name three people who were terrorists. She told him she wasn't talking about people - she was talking about the actual environmental factors that have contributed to the fire, lots of trees (fuel), heavy underbrush and severe drought. She was trying to say that the tragedy the residents were facing leaves them feeling terrorized. What else could she have meant? Heh, heh, heh...
