I guess there simply is no safety in this world. The fires continue to burn everywhere. They have a daily briefing from the coordination center and the numbers vary from ten to twenty and more every day. There is no rain in the forecast for the next two weeks. We are just a tinder box waiting for a spark. I have never seen it this dry.

I spent most of the morning trying to get someone to my Mom's house to cut down the cedars and the grass in a field near her house. There have been so many fires all around her and around me too.

The wind that was blowing electrical lines together has died down at least for today, but people continue to smoke and even the spark from a cigarette held outside a car can start a fire. A cigarette butt thrown out is almost certain to start a fire. Smokers are being arrested for that all over the state.

We're all just skating through the fires on prayer.
