Hey, MurphyBrown!!
I just saw a news crawl about fires in your area. Is everything OK there?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Just fine...gotta love the media/EXAGGERATION folks
Yes we have our annual wildfires. The majority of the fires are in rural and very rugged terrain so basically the fire crews watch for getting close to structures (oh yes people do build their homes out in the boonies and are not prepared for taking care of their own fire protection....[see a rant in that comment, Patti]...yep it is there). Very little smoke...a little this morning...but until now crystal clear blue skies. I Remember one year the fires were burning and yes fairly close to town but not in residential..hillsides with lots of dry grass...my kids owned a motel and the media was staying there. I was there and this reporter was in panic , reporting live mode and showing pictures that were from about 15 miles away. He got done and I said "what the heck you talking about". He said well if I tell the viewers that we are at a really nice motel, sitting around the pool and looking at the lake they won't watch....:yikes::banghead:. Will need to wait for fall, cooler temps, rain and snow to put them out....humanly cannot fight them in that billy goat terrain!!!
Thanks for your concern...

I'm glad you and yours are OK. And that you handle it with your usual aplomb! :bowdown:
As to news media, that's kind of how they handle tornado watches here.
