...funny that you should mention that!.... ;) ....!

As I lay in bed last night thinking of the subject of Wildfires, (the only exciting thing I get to do in bed at nights... :roll: ...), I started to realise that its not necessarily; "heat" that creates Wildfires, but "dryness" of the vegetation!

..than all it needs is a spark to start it all off!

But the good news.... ;) ....

...with the number of views, this thread has at least put Canada back on the map again!.... :dance: ....!

There's a bit of Scotland all-round here. My mother was born in a former subsidiary of Nova Scotia, now a province of its own, Prince Edward Island. Near summer's end, right here in NH -- New Hampshire Highland Games & Festival

.... :D ...!

It always makes me chuckle when many of my North-Eastern USA/South Eastern Canada, (Quebec/Nova Scotia, New England, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina), Motorcycling Chums suddenly break out into their ancestors British/Irish native language when making their You-Tube video journeys on their Motorcycles!
English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh accents, they can all be identified!
They do it on purpose, and its always good fun!
Its nice to be inter-connected to the North-American and North-European Continents!
With past ancestors, we really do have quite a lot in common with each other...even if the; "English Language Words" are a bit odd sometimes!... :lol: ...!
