Not to mention the tigers!
Coffee Break #40 - Approaching Solstice
Ohh My!
hee hee
and it's been soooo dry. Hope those forest service guys are doing ok . We know a lot of them and a friend from church is the overnight dispatcher for the state fish, game wildlife and forest service
I was praying she would have gotten some rain last night... but I don't think she did
Thats so scary and sad!
Not any better today if NJ is having the strong breezes we are getting.
Please keep my nephew Adam and his wife Michelle and their unborn baby in your prayers they found a defect while doing an ultrasound and prelim amnio results show #13 chromosome defect which may result in these types of problems

Oh no. Sure will, Jen.
Prayers will be said Jen.... you can count on it! Thats what my cousin Amy had. We lost her a the age of 13 due to the complications, but it was way more than the 5 years they originally gave her.
will do jen
They are certainly in my thoughts & prayers. Not only those for the baby, but strength for the parents to cope.
OH No Jen, sending out prayers for the family.
prayers & good thoughts to them Jen.. has to be terrible stress not knowing if everything is ok
my friend's house is good... they stopped it pretty close... but stopped it... she said everything is covered in ash... and stinky.... but all good
Jen, im sorry if that sounded so negative, it was not meant to be. My cousin was only given to the age of 5 at best, she had an enlarged heart and kidney problems from birth. We enjoyed her wonderful innocence and kindness for 13 beautiful years. She taught us all about unconditional love and loyalty and what was important. Sometimes tragedy can be a beautiful blessing. ^_^
I def did not take that as a negative more as a positive that a baby can have a life longer than the doctor's say
I'm glad. ^_^
Oh Jen, I'm so sad to hear that. We lost a great niece to that, and it is so difficult on the parents. Hugs and prayers for all of you.
Louise
Good luck Jen, for all concerned.
I never knew about this chromosome 13 stuff! Good luck!

It has been working that way for me all the time.
Prayers being said, Jen.
Very sorry, Jen....all of the family is in my thoughts and prayers.
Did you see that woman Russian spy arrested from NY?!! Man, I love my country but..............
I just saw her! There must be some mistake!!
Let's start a bail collection. I promise to keep close watch on her.
rotfl
And of course I'll do my patriotic duty and thoroughly search her for any microfilm or anything.
Dogs...the both of ya!!
Ruff ruff!!!

That shot of lightning at the Acropolis is beautiful !!!
(Glad I wasn't in the immediate area.)
Great photo, but scary!
I'm so thankful it was spared!!
Zeus does play around, doesn't he? Picture is fantastic.
Re Russian spies--hope that they don't catch ours. But as has been noted: Why all the work for information which can be found on the internet.
I'm sure they'll arrest a bunch or throw them out. It's always done like that.
It might be a good idea to look into the passports/birth certificates. The one in Cambridge is supposed to have used a Canadian obit.
Jen, saying a prayer for Adam, Michelle, and baby.
Allison, That fire didn't drive the Jersey devil out of the barrens, did it? LOL
Fire always has been a problem in the barrens, part of it is there are not enough fires to use up the available fuel and stop the ecological succession that maintains that area as the barrens. Ric

Info on this brush fire from nj.com
A thunderstorm started a brush fire that has charred nearly 900 acres of the New Jersey Pinelands — and a thunderstorm may help put it out.
The blaze began Saturday when lightning struck a tree in the tinder-dry Pinelands west of the Garden State Parkway in Ocean County, said Bert Plante, a spokesman for the state Forest Fire Service.
It grew overnight and burned 890 acres before being contained on all sides Sunday afternoon.
It is now burning in a swampy area virtually inaccessible to firefighters and heavy equipment but does not pose a threat to homes or property, Plante said.
Although the fire is contained, it still has not been declared under control.
"Control with this fire is going to take quite some time," Plante said. "Maybe we'll get lucky and those thunderstorms will roll over the area and give it a good soaking. Some of them are supposed to be severe."
The fire burned a section of the Pinelands near one of the worst fires in the area's history, a 2007 blaze that burned more than 17,000 acres. That fire was touched off by a National Guard pilot who dropped flares too low on a day when conditions were bone-dry at a nearby Air Force target range.
No injuries were reported in the most recent fire.
