Morning Jack. Fire is a terrible, terrible happening and your sister, Kate mentioned the New Jersey pine woods fire and that's why it's so hazy here, and not good to breathe. I hope this rain that's coming down hard will be helpful there. A very sad story, but needed to see. Thank you.

Again, your last line says it all. “Nature does not obey executive orders.” What a horrifying story.

Not an easy subject because fire is part of nature and we have, for many decades, managed forests poorly. But we're seeing fires right now in the New Jersey pine woods (in the spring) that are sickening people in New York.

Well Jack, with Satan now running the country, the Rapture must be getting near. Damn, where did I store those Rosary beads?

Yeah, the sorrowful mysteries. Maybe you should hang them on the fire extinguisher to be handy.
