I usually ignore the news, but now I'm constantly checking the weather and news sites for updates on this fire. Maybe I can learn a Native American rain dance?

So I won't have to worry about that. We'll probably both die of cancer as a result! LOL He also has carpet phobia and I could get into that big time, but he was right about that as well. Carpet (the wall-to-wall type) is nasty so it's okay that he gave me carpet phobia. See! Match made in heaven. 
The carpet stuff is bad bad news, not only do you never really get it clean, it's gives off chems. Seriously nasty stuff, I mean really bad. It's history in this house and anything that we get now is choosin carefuly or what we can't avoid is small in size. We still have a semi large area rug in the center of the living room, but I couldn't resist, always wanted an oriental style rug, middle east more correct. Hell I have enough bad stuff in me just doing work things, I mean what the hell it's a big race to see which one will get me first. What me worry? Naw, got better things to do. But when the grandkids come to play, I want them to have a little better chance.
Hate to break it to you , but the rest of storage stuff is porous too, even glass, just less so and I won't tell you what we added to make that stuff, make you want to go back to tuperware.
It's his phobia. I don't care. He makes the bizarre rules and I follow them. When I live alone I don't care. I geta drink from McDonald's drive thru and never know what to eat, it certainly isn't stored in my house. Even where I grew up in the country it's not safe. Their well water is full of arsenic and they are all dying of cancer. They sprayed DDT all over until I was born, where do you think that went. Humans are nasty, it comes with the turf. Wherever we are it's toxic. Just part of the package.

Well, the rain only lasted about an hour or so. 
l gave the Weatherman a good talking to, but it did no good. Ah, dolls. I used to be terrified of them when I was small, too. I used to scream and throw them across the room, saying that they were "cold and hard." Later, I became fascinated with them, and for awhile, I made and sold cloth dolls. I also owned one of those "Charmin' Chatty" dolls, but she wasn't allowed on the bed. She got flung into a closet at night.

My little girl has the new Baby Alive. She talks, eats, drinks, burps and all that. I make sure the batteries are off at night. I used to take the batteries right out but it is too much like work. And she hasn't come on by herself! My boys had a toy ambulance with a bunch of sirens when I was a single mom. That thing would come on all by itself for no apparent reason and it scared the s**t out of me every time. It turned out that the batteries were low so it was malfunctioning.
I wish I could send you some rain! It has been raining here all day. It is so dry in the ground that the rain is soaking in fast. I thought Florida got quite a bit of rain. ?
It's the dry season. Actually the rain went longer than usual this year. Our dry season lasts from at least March through June, but can last from Jan through June. In 1998 it was bad. We didn't have rain until June 14th. This year actually hasn't been that bad. It's been much worse.

I didn't know that there was a drought down there! 
It seems very strange being so close to the ocean and all.
We have been in a drought for 4 years now. The weather is really screwy! We get grass fires that can cause damage to a large area as well as smoke like crazy!! My thought are with all of you affected by it!

"I'd like to share a revelation I had, during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows that same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease a cancer of this planet..."

Wanders in for an evening tea and feels instant.... sadness and despair. 
What good is a positive attitude if the species is only going to die off!?
Stumbles out to await better news and happier times!
