Well Edwin, there won’t be any sky viewing tonight, but we can put out some hot dogs all around the telescope and enjoy a really big weenie roast…
Gives me an Atlas Shrugged vibe…

“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
Eideard, can you imagine waiting a year for your time on the Hobby-Eberly 9.2 meter scope, getting a perfect forecast for the weather and seeing, then having the mountain shut down due to wildfire? Although the observatory is now open, the roads are still mostly closed and the sky is somewhat poor for imaging and experiments due to the heat and smoke.
Thanks for posting the picture.
That is really ugly.
If you ever see something like that move away at maximum safe speed.
Mother nature in action.
Another attempt by the libertarians to clear out the brush on THEIR land.
REALLY happy this stuff is way south of Dallas.
I’m praying Zeus for some rain. Please join me.
I’ll bet libertarian/separatist Texas governor Rick Perry is happy to have all those Federal emergency rescue and recovery dollars around now.
#16: Funny how real things like forest fires mess up ideologies that require Ayn Randian theories.
A friend of mine in the Midwest who is ideologically Libertarian is probably going nuts about the Texans having to get outside aid to douse those fires.
Gov Perry must be a sinner, his prayers aren’t working !!!
That community sure must like cooking out.
This is what the U.S. would look like if they legalized marijuana.
“all those Federal emergency rescue and recovery dollars”
You mean dollars forcibly collected from US citizens.
Libtards are desperately trying to divert attention away from the fact that Barry is shaping up to be the worst president ever. Worse than his predecessor, and worse than even Jimmy Carter.
Just nature doing what come natural. Chaparral burning over is as normal as frost in the winter in TN. Many of the plants that grow there can’t survive without the occasional blaze.
The fires only get as bad as some do when humans prevent small fires which allows fuel to accumulate to the point of causing a really serious blaze.
Of course if you intend to live in this kind of biome you need to make sure your house has a major fire break around it and is highly fire resistant.
