Silly, empty utterances from Jenn who knows nothing about a subject but writes about it anyway.

My little small town is experiencing some big hoopla about the principal getting the boot. The town seems to be divided between people who just think he’s a great guy, and others that just want to know why three of the five board members agreed to get rid of him.
I went to the meeting to support my friend who’s husband is on the board. Plus I was just curious. But boy! I hated the tension. My blood pulsed at an accelerated rate. People kept yelling stupid stuff and clapping at stupid times.
I just wanted to get some information… not opinions… facts. But no facts surfaced in a reasonable amount of time, so I left. And then I ate some tums.

More than 400 acres of forest is on fire just a few miles from me. Crazy huh? Well, I guess fires happen every year - we get blue skies just at the end of Spring between April showers and May fires. But, this fire is awfully close. I have to dust a layer of ash off all the furniture - and a layer of dog hair because my dog is shedding.
This picture was taken around 10:30pm (22:30 for you 24-hour clock folks) so it’s rather hard to make out the details. But, the red stuff is fire and the black stuff is forest. Wild huh? (click the image for a larger view)
We’re planning on renting a house next Tuesday two miles up Tin Cup… I hope it’s still there when we move! But rest assured, I’m fine and most of the residents of Darby are fine - I don’t think anyone has lost their home. And the Forest Service seems to have the fire under control now. Hopefully we have a cold, wet winter to prevent fires next year.
