HA! true enough, and we had been wanting a hurricane to come right in about Brownsville and run right up the valley, across the Rio Grande sweeping up over Texas.

That is probably not fair to Brownsville, but we sure needed the water.

I also heard it wasn't hard to find a fire to cook a hot dog over.

Not a good candidate... Maybe you could put an ad on craigslist for a fishing buddy? Just a thought!

You are not kidding there, Ish. And not just good pastureland( or at least as good as West Texas pasture gets, but many homes in East Texas and thousands of acres of National parks and the Davis mountains near the McDonald Observatory.

That's a lot of fire. We get fires in the corn stubble but they just plow around it.

The season is 4 months off.

I don't know a lot about ranching, but I know West Texas pastures are pretty sparse anyway, and chewed down low, so according to a rancher friend of mine, any bad fire like this makes it harder for the pasture to recover to be able to support livestock and/or wildlife.

Just glad it did not reach the McDonald Observatory, that would have been really bad, lots of money invested in those big mirrors!

Up here they burn grazing ground in the spring. It makes for the greenest grass around. Then again they don't do it during the growing season.
