Fires are springing up and starting to burn all around.
Bad news from Jasper tonight as it is being reported that several buildings are starting to burn within the evacuated town.
I would often visit Jasper in my teens for the hiking into the surrounding mountains. It is a beautiful area. Lisa and I even spent part of our honeymoon there.
I was hoping with the cooler spring we had that the fires would not be bad this summer. Just wishful thinking.

The damage in Jasper sounds bad. About a third of the buildings were destroyed. It is good to hear from you Carol. Take care.

Do you get them every summer then? I wish we could send you some of our rain!

It seems we are getting them every year now. We could absolutely use some rain sent our way. Take care.

Out of all the scientific stuff they experiment with (cloud seeding etc) I think the most useful would be to be able to drag rain clouds from one area to another!

Perhaps someday they will be able to do it.
