Yeah, you're right Tom, get up, move around. Of course, it's only a few minutes after 5:00 here, and moving around can be difficult this early, especially for us old folk, but we'll try.....
Got some nasty wildfires, mostly in the hills, but the worse one is to the east in the Tonto National Forest, over 40,000 acres burned and less then 10% contained. We can see the smoke from the fire from our area, a good 50 miles away. A few smaller fires burning even closer to us, one brush fire took out three homes yesterday, another is burning down a hillside and getting close to a residential area. Still not as bad as in years past where we've had hundreds of thousands acres of forest land burned, just about all of them are caused by humans.
