...honestly that guy takes me for granted without even so much as a "Honey, I'll be gone for a couple of months on a case".

More likely it would be: "Honey, I'm off to visit with Elvis on the Mothership. I'll be back in a few months. Try to have those cattle mutilation cases solved for me by the time I get back."

I'll watch for it, unless there's another "controlled" burn this year. Conditions are right for the "controlled" burns. No rain since last August, little snow, extremely warm (warmest winter since 1977, driest since 1877), lots of wind.
