Teh Internets: January 2008 Archives

well, even when we have a drought, the swamp is too damp to burn, so we don't have to worry about brush fire smoke:

At least three people have died in a 50-vehicle pile up on a busy motorway, blanketed by fog and smoke from bush fires in the US state of Florida. Video footage showed the smouldering remains of dozens of burned-out lorries and cars, and long queues of traffic on both sides of the motorway. Emergency services were shown at the scene attending to the wounded. The incident occurred on a stretch of Interstate 4, between Tampa and Orlando in central Florida.

I remember driving to see Teh Mouse one year, and the side of the road was burning.
