Hot and dry here for too long, ni rain in sight! Fires just outside of Austin have consumed more than 30,000 acres and hundreds of homes. Not good! We are in a tinderbox here, with a few less trees and further north, but?

Bloody hell Copey. Keep yr head down mate and make sure that pool of yours is topped up.

Mind you that place is about 3 good hours south of here, but here ain't no better. The fields here are absolute toast. I took the little Serow out for a bit of a trail ride today.
