If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I'm at the office right now, and it's a bit smokey in the air right now. Apparently there's a 150-acre fire south of here in LaPine. Several of my co-workers here live close to the fire, so they're a bit on edge right now. Jack can see it from his house, so hopefully he'll be posting some more updates as he sees them. I don't know how close the fire is to Simone, but she probably doesn't care (or even know about it) as she's probably on her way to Burning Man.

Jake said on 08/28/05 @ 10:58 PM: Shannon: Based on what i've heard, it's well north of Simone's house.
Barney: Get your site in gear with permanent links to your items, and I'll happily link to your stuff :-)
