One day a real fire is going to burn the trash.

I am deliberately misquoting Taxi Driver, yes.

So... Apparently the woods where I like to hike are being burned to the ground because some jackass decided to burn their trash instead of hauling it to the dump.

Oh, but it's okay because ya'know. Only 1.8M in damages so far and one house destroyed. No real losses compared to most fires. Just some useless forest and animals.

Want to bet the schmuck who started it gets fined a few grand and that's the end of it?


I really wish we placed similar values on all forms of life. :(

Yes, but those places aren't utterly cut off from the Bay, really hot, and really really empty. Cel phones don't even work in those parks.

Mountain View has a great park just a few minutes' drive from us. Rancho San Antonio I think it's called - The 3 of us head up as often as we can (which I must say hasn't been lately with the move and all) so Gina can see her chickens (yes, there's a farm in the middle of the park, it's wonderful :) )
Kind of creepy to consider going to a park that's empty and cell phones don't work in though >.<
