Well, I suppose we could place some blame on Dumbya <g>  After all, if we 
still had any National Guard around, we'd have had a whole heck of a lot 
more fire fighters here.

And, yes, the lightning is the cause of the fires.  So far, in our valley 
alone, over 100,000 acres have burned.  The fire is about 10-14 miles from 
our house.  Since we are a valley, the smoke sits here.

The total lightning fires in Northern California is 842, and a total for the 
state of over 1000.  Total lost acreage, so far is well over a million 
burned.  In my county alone, there is the Lime Complex fire (109,000 acres), 
the Iron Complex (over 60,000 acres) and the smaller Hell's Half (15,000 
acres).

Then again, we could blame part of it on the Guvanator.  <g>  He's closed 
all the prison camps where the low security guys were trained to fight 
fires.  Of course, that made too much sense since it cost 75% less to keep 
them in the camps and it taught them job skills AND the recid rate was 
almost nill!  Heaven forbid that we do something sensible when it comes to 
folks that break the law.
