Hi all, just wanted to report on the fires here in Texas. This year has also been the worst drought in Texas history. The fires are all over this large state, where I live, Seguin, [ town named after a man in Texas history who helped Sam Houston at the battle of the Alamo], you can smell the smoke of the fires still burning in Bastrop, an area reported on by the world news where 1400 houses have burnt to the ground thus far and more are burning right now[caused many to become homeless]. The land is so dry from no rain that any kind of spark can set a field on fire, the ground is also cracking causing all kinds of other problems [water mains breaking, foundations of buildings and houses cracking]. The heat has caused power mains to blow up also starting fires. I attribute all of this to global warming, many don't believe this is happening, others say it's a natural cycle and has happened before, but I say all the evidence is their, there is proof all around the world. This has been directly caused by mans greed to make a buck, no matter who it hurts, no matter what problems it causes to our environment, the earth the place in which we live, man is destroying it because of our dependency on oil for one. Well this is my rant, well got to go now, Jeff.

Thanks Russ, the wife is sick right now because of the smoke all of us are breathing in but the fires in Bastrop are under control now so things should start to get better for us but not for all who lost everything they had, and now the insurance vultures are going to move in and try to cheat them all, :@[oh did I say vultures I meant to say adjusters:dodgy:] not really!!! I could say more but I will refrain from doing so, it doesn't help any one. I do thank you for your concern Russ, Jeff.
