Re: Smoke gets in my eyes

In the 8 years I have lived here, we have had 4 summers of drought and dry
conditions and they banned fireworks in Oklahoma, except for the public
displays at the parks and such.  They banned cooking on outside grills,
burning anything outside, and welding too.  And then, some idiot flicks a
cigarette out their car window while driving down the road and starts a fire
that takes out 20 acres and 2 houses.....unbelievable.  They give tickets in
this state if they see you flick a cigarette out a window of a car.  One
farmer lost 18 cows from somebody doing that.

I sure hope so too Theresa, w/ all the fires out there they would be insane
to
let people send incendiary devices flying about.
