    Mrs bo gets a little testy when I shrug and say it was not that close.(1/4 mile and 2 lane road to cross)

    Worst we should have to be concerned about is monitoring and watching for embers in air/on roof and spray them down.

    Most embers from prairie fire are not heavy enough to catch material other than prairie on fire. Easy to catch field next to you on fire but not so easy to catch house/barn on fire.

    Many structure fires in prairie fire are due to easily combustable material accumulating near stucture or structure is 50yr old dried to balsa consistency barnwood.

    We keep an area approx mowed short around house and shop and trees are set out away from house. Have 5 access points to 1" water lines. Even in drought chances of losing house to prairie fire should be low.

    Best thing about prairie fire is fuel goes fast and once fuel is gone fire is gone. Still hard to watch it coming at you.

    Been 25+ years since last watched it.

    Fun to compare/contrast classic Sci Fi to modern Sci Fi.

    In 1953 and even 1977 actors had to carry the story, special effects were primitive and sometimes laughable.

    Today, don't even need actors, which is good cause most suck, as the cinemagraphics are amazing.

    Then the rain comes, and you have fresh grass.

    That's what you get for driving on the prairie in the mud.

    Anyone else think about WKRP in Cincinnati whenever they hear someone say Venus flytrap?
