Most of you understood the scope of devastation wrought by the fires in 
Southern California.  Well, the long range forecasts (and Jim would 
understand them better than most) predict that the Santa Ana (or more 
properly, Santana from the Spanish vientos de Satan ("winds of Satan") winds 
will return in the week after Thanksgiving.  California and Federal 
authorities are already massing resources in Southern California to fight 
any fire that might crop up.  That includes bringing in fire fighting teams 
from Northern California and the Western Region, bulldozers, and even the 
wide-body retardant dropping aircraft.

Forewarned is forearmed.  It is comforting that some government agencies 
think ahead on these things.  It would be great if those of you in other 
parts of the country never hear of any fires in California in the coming 
weeks!

Buster, is it true that when George Bush got there for the last fires, with 
the look of concern on his face for the photo-op, he asked Ahnold if they 
could make some smores?
