This Week's Saturday Sky brought to you with fuzzy bad pictures and FIRE. No worries though, the fire is not in danger of getting me or mine. I don't know the latest news, but as of last night it had not reached any homes and no one had been hurt. Let's just hope it stays that way.
Hint: The fire is all the red glowy shit in the images. :P
I really need to learn to use my camera. The only feature that I could get for flashless photos had some weird time lapse feature going on, which would be cool to play with, but I wish I could have just gotten some decent photos neh.
Here's a Bonus picture from last night around midnight.
That brings me to an old Reno Joke I know of. "How can you tell Reno is close to hell? Because you can see Sparks from here!".
Now that joke is actually a play on words due to the fact that a town named Sparks is close by, but it seems fitting here. It was especially funny on the 4th of July when we could see 3 or 4 different fire work displays from our backyard, including the Sparks 4th of July celebration. *L* (They had the best, btw. )
Last night as my honey and I drove home from a friends house we could see the fires a lot closer. He told me not to worry and that no one had been hurt. Of course I brought up the animals. He said they all got out fine when it first started up. I bought up the turtles. Ya know the turtles don't move as fast as the bunnies n' stuff. He said they probably didn't make it. :(
I then suggested that maybe some of the other animals gave the turtles a lift out of there. He said it sounded reasonable and that's what probably happened.
I love my honey. He's full of shit, but I love him. ;)
Still I wanna think that the turtles all got a lift out. I'm sure that's what happened. *hopes happy thoughts for all the peoples furry, feathered and anything else that may reside there including the humans*
Now in happy happy news that can only make your day sing with happiness & joy GUESS WHAT?!
Dave Daniels of the AMAZING Cabin Cove Mercantile just released an early part of his Fall Collection!!! You know what this means don't you? Yeah that you better get your ass over there before it's all gone. I just did a little damage over there and as they are One of a Kind creations you better hurry before everyone else gets in on the action.
Shop Early, Shop Often! The yarn you buy may be your own. *L* Good for Gifties too. :D
I was living in Glenwood Springs Colorado when the Storm King Mountain wildfire happened in July 1994 that took the life of 14 Hot Shot smokejumpers most from Montana. I know the angst you are feeling.
So on the lighter side, I'm glad you had fun "Doing Damage with Dave".

Do you ever sleep? I have that camera issue, too. *L* I hope everyone's safe up there.

Oh, THAT Sparks. I was hoping it was that cute little Hal Sparks. (Google if you don't know who I mean.)
To take a picture of the flames, shut OFF the flash, put the camera on a stable surface like a tripod or table, and push the shutter, and LEAVE IT ALONE. That works for me using a digital. Try it and see.
And, yes, you did some damage. You got a good portion of all the pinks. I guess it's safe to say that's a favorite color of yours, huh? lol

I could not resist either. He is an evil evil evil man. I found something that I just had to have.
Great stuff isn't it?
:o)
Be safe!
