I'm not sure if it was the drugs that had his brain messed up or if it was the inbreeding aspect of it.

Hard to believe anyone still burns anything outside! Burn bans - on the news, in the papers, signs posted; maybe the bills they get from the fire departments, and the fine from the state/county will teach them a lesson. Hope the barns were insured; but don't know if their insurance will cover them if there was a burn ban on.

I don't think anyone out in this area is going to get much sleep tonight based on how much of the area is still smoldering and trying to flame up. I cannot believe anyone living out here would burn anything....ugh
