We've had an unusually wet Winter and Spring out here in Southern California. Just the other day I was noticing how green the hills of Camp Pendleton still were. But this begins another cycle: the grass dries out and dies out and becomes fuel for Fall fires.
Yuck. I was just listening to the John Gibson show on Fox News radio, a black woman caller was regaling him about what a horrible racist society we live in. He asked for evidence, and she cited one hoax case. Need I say more?
There once was a vampire named Mabel, whose period was notoriously stable. So one night in June she sat with a spoon and drank herself under the table.
Yesterday, the WI DNR started their burning of areas where they are trying to promote prairie grasses around here. A huge, huge plume of gray smoke was in the air.
An interesting set of blog layouts available from the header. I still like the traditional on best. I think it best highlights your content, rather than the faux creativity of a computer-generated layout.
One thing to note: The header for the traditional layout includes a link for back to normal, however once you try the other layouts, the header, and thus the back to normal link, are not included.

It has that spare feel of winter, but there's just a touch of warmth at the edges.
That second one is evocative of some shots I've seen of Civil War sites. Very appropriate on this day.
I thought maybe this was what happens if the DNR doesn't approve of what you are growing on your land.
I love how grassfires smell after the fact. It's kind of sweet and charcoaly.
"Feel the burn... "
Enough to make me think of '80s workout videos.
You're all welcome in advance of your thanking me for not linking to an example of the reference.

Yeah, baby! Go for the burn!
No pain... no pain.
That sun is just taunting you... Neener, neener, neener!
In the morning its gonna rise and kick y'er ass.
Better get ready!
Big whirls have little whirls,
That feed on their velocity,
And little whirls have lesser whirls,
And so on to viscosity

Ponder that the next time an Althouse vortex has a seizure.

Grass grows from fire like a phoenix.
It burns, it burns...
And It Burns, Burns, Burns

Burned: Charlie Crist.

(Pretty good, chick.)
Thanks deborah.
That's pretty good song written by an old commie. The Byrds took it and made it better, much like they and others did with Dylan.
Pete Seeger is getting really old. I hope he lives to be 100.

Eh, if the worst we have to deal with is whiny black people, we've got it pretty good as a country.
Unfortunately that isn't even CLOSE to being the worst we have to deal with -- but still.
