Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING, THE OLD MAN IS BORING

It has been raining pretty hard the last two days and the Twitchell Canyon fire is looking way sick. There is no visible smoke anywhere that we can see. But remember it has been this way twice before. I'm tellin' ya rain doesn't necessarily put fires out. I told everyone before that it wasn't out and I'll tell you again it isn't out---not yet---it'll take a lot more rain than this to finish it off. BUT it is for sure not going anywhere in the near future. It will sit and smoulder for a while and if it turns hot and dry it will burn again....if it continues to storm it'll give it up and go out....time'll tell.

I THINK THERE IS SNOW IN THE NEAR FUTURE---AT LEAST IT FEELS LIKE IT T'DAY.
