I'm planning on waiting until the surgery

With us it's a yearly inevitability. Evergreen
trees look green even though the moisture
level in the tree itself can be very low. When
that happens and a fire comes along..the 
trees practically explode into flames! When 
a big forest fire gets going...it will generate
it's own winds which keep feeding it oxygen.
It's quite scary to see a 140 foot tree ignite
in a flash like a match!
chat with you soon!
