tis gonna be a bad yr for the forest and gas loving critters. i hope it will be a good yr for the health and survival of those 2 leggeds who firefight.

i pray all the time that no one tosses anything out a passing vehicle that will set the field next to me ablaze. from the # of cig butts i pick up at the crab park beach and area, well, people SUCK with their inability to be mindful and caring.

* just * say * no * to * littering *
