The American West is on fire
We were in Mexico but had to fly home because the entire state is ablaze....Its 104 degrees today, it's been over 100 all week, and the light show from these fires at night is incredible from my decks.. We had a fire in the nighborhood this winter, and here's my nieghbors escaping- The North Fork runs right through my property
But don't worry folks..I shipped the x wife and kids back down to Mexico, it's just me, my 23 year old son and the dogs now and we aren't evacuating. I never evacuate. We cut down 12 trees today and chopped them up and rolled them down the hill, plan on cutting more tommarow. I'm gonna fight this monster

Ohhhhh! That looks deep scary ...Never seen a forest fire this fierce in my life, though I do come from a country where we got pretty large and dense forests too. Good to know your neighbors got away safely.
"I'll tell you'all what I told the little lady- Don't worry, if ya don't hear from us again it just means we burned to death" Good God! Don't even think about such awful stuff.
Insha Allah, you all should be ok, and your properties safe from harm's way.
Do take care Bull, and hope and pray for the safety of both you and your lad.

UPDATE: ...The Waldo Creek fire, the one nearest to me just blew up! I know it's heading this way because while me and the boy were cuttin down trees today we saw a mother bear and her cubs, at least 25 deer, 35 Elk and a Cougar run by escaping the flames. It's been my experience that they are usually about 10 miles ahead of the blaze. This could be a rough night folks..Just put on a pot of Blue Mountain Coffee- The best coffee in the world, the only coffee that tastes as good as coffee smells. Only grown on one side, at one altitude on the Blue Mountain in Jamaica

Thanks Mandi! ...Your prayers were answered! I woke up at 3pm to a major monsoon packed with relentless rains and hail. The heavens opened up and the fires (near me anyway) layed right down. I have a lot of stories about last nights drama but i'll wait until the subject comes up again in the normal course of conversation before share them. I'm packing now- I'm heading to Mismaloya via IAH in the morning. I'm bringing my Labtop so i'll keep in touch here
Thanks so much again-

Thanks ...Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. It wasn't too bad we only lost about 400 homes and just a few lives- Not only that every fire we survive makes it less likely we will have another big one at our ranch.
