Watch after the fire. Next big rain will cause all sorts of mudslides. It is all part of the ecosystem there.
Yeah, but that shit ain't happening anywhere near me. lol.
That is a benefit to being in a big state: so many areas to go that are ecologically different. All that's traded for shitty heat on your end though.

In these dry forests, you need some fire to clear out all the seedings and brush on the ground. They don't do anything at all with most of that land and ground fuels just continue to build. There are sites with foot tall layers of pine needles.

Coastal forests are a different story and require different management strategies.
Also, that stuff can be burned for energy more cleanly than allowing it to slowly rot and then incinerate uncontrollably.
Should be a fat market in wood I would think

It's really Mudslide season. I'm sure it was a slip on Foo's part.
I didn't make up the saying about the seasons, it is something I have heard since I was a kid, except "Riots" was "Drought". But yeah, I think floods was always referring to mudslides. Old hillbillies love to sit around talking shit about California and New York.

Yup. It decomposes too slowly (if at all) to provide any benefit to the forest and then it sets the state ablaze.

Whereas in coastal forests, the down material is really essential to keeping the forest alive.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.

This wonderful thing that happens when the temperature gets so cool, even water takes a damn chill pill. If it gets too much, you can always bundle up. With heat, you can only get so naked.

I never bundle up unless I'm going to sleep. I try to get my bones to freeze over so there is a thawing out period when it immediately gets back to 100 degree weather again.

You should try Delaware, a tiny ass state Bob Hope could jump a golf cart over from east to west. If you go north, you can see some of the nastiest ghettos you will ever want to see in Wilmington, and then you head 45 minutes south to the beaches, and then another 45 minutes south you feel like you are gonna be ass raped like Ned Beatty.

My folks were friends with Nascar guys, and they said Delaware was the place they hated the most, because of the people in lower Delaware being so nasty. My stepfather won a free dinner because guys did not believe him there was a trailer with a school bus stacked on top as a second story. And it is not like Nascar guys in the 80's were snobby and sophisticated.

In spirit, sir! In spirit!

That is a compliment, btw. Coming from a special blend of two hillbilly families, I am 100% pure.

Oh, you guys are the very first to know that Foo-Chicky got approved for our Fiance Visa today! She could technically be here is 2 weeks, but we will probably take advantage of the window we have to have her mom visit and do some things there, as we have only 90 days to get married once she arrives and she cannot leave the US for two years.

The scientifically proven method for best sleep is bundled but with a foot left out for temp control.

If it wasn't for the heat, I'd probably love the desert regions.

Family friends. The family was usually pretty good about seeking high ground. We like to poop and know shit runs downhill. Fun fact: My grandfather was addicted to Ex Lax.

I have not gotten the full debriefing yet to learn if she got to tell them Motel Hell is my favorite movie. It was a moment she was not looking forward to. :p
