		<description>Yes Many Previous,

Archeologists have discovered evidence that neandertal Democrats were burning too many bras, but considering these bras were made of rock they didn&#039;t burn too well, so that theory was de-bunked.

But I should note that same team of archeologists did discover an ancient race of skeleton people.</description>

		<description>I predicted this fire season during last winter, it totally sucked, no snowpack to speak of. I count myself lucky this year in the forests of AZ, we almost had a catostrophic wildfire sweep through the city, but with some luck and some damn good firefighting, we made it unscathed. I feel for those who are dealing with fires in their areas, the smoke totally degrades the quality of life during the time it is present. 

We are not out of the woods so to speak, AZ had the second largest wildfire in US recorded history a couple years ago, 450,000 acres, Rodeo-Chedeski fire. And drought conditions continue. They say this year is an El-Nino year, which is good for the Southwest and bad for the Northwest, Sorry Zooey.</description>

		<description>Where Thereâ€™s Smoke

August 27, 2006

The article â€œBad fire year despite lack of big oneâ€ by Kirk Johnson makes the case for wildfires raging out of control in the Midwest.  As of last week 7.1 million acres went up in smoke.  Regardless whether the heat wave is â€œcomplex and diffuseâ€ one simple explanation was not mentioned in the article: the absent of the National Guard.  Mr. Johnson point out the causes such as the heat waves shattering 2,300 records across the country; the expanding of dry grasses and the early evaporating of spring snow.  But not one word of the National Guard.  The absent of the Guard is just as important as the destructive heat wave.  Two years ago our nation governors arrived in Seattle, Washington to complain to senior Pentagon officials that they were facing severe manpower shortages in fighting wildfires.  The Iraq war brought focus to their conference of why half of their Guard was sent to Iraq while their states were burning.  Their concern was if they didnâ€™t have the personnel to put them out the fires they will grow into â€œcatastrophic fires.â€  You know, the â€œBig One.â€  Now that what I consider a significant cause for our runaway wildfires.</description>
