Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I missed this post. Akiba you are in my prayers. M y friend lives in Jax and last week I think it was, the smoke was so bad from some fires, she put plastic bags over all the windows to keep the smoke from coming in through any openings. It definitely is very scary.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 We have a fire fairly close to us, too. It's on the Fort Apache Reservation about an hour and a half away I think. We aren't getting any smoke from it thankfully. I hope Akiba's fire is out quickly!hugsSharon. This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 If you go to http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?sat=1 and scroll down on the right till you see "fire" and check it, it will show you all of the fires in Fla, Look for Lake (it is big) and the "our" fire is to the right. Where I am is right where the lake meets the St river, and there is a huge subdivision between us has the fire, there is NO way the fire could reach here before being put out. I have had to point that out to Robbin to allay his fears about it. Then scan N till you reach the Okefenokee, there you will really get scared...   ~*~Hugs~*~ ~*~Akiba~*~ Pragmatic Visionary http://www.affiliates-natural-salt-lamps.com/pages/156.php -- Pasta and cheese, very Italian!> > > Reb, for some mysterious reason, it is common for some varieties> of cheddar cheese to be colored to almost orange here--usually> with anatto dye (food-based), but I buy the white cheddar.> Besides, one can grate cheese over any pasta, or make a > cheese sauce for any kind of pasta.
