I was thinking about this in the car today. I remember when I lived in California, there were alot of wild fires. The valley we lived in filled up with smoke and ash, making it very hard to breathe or go outside. Seeing pictures of Show Low today reminded me of that.

Further on down the thought train, I came to the conclusion that there is some raving idiot in Hollywood right now thinking about how good of a TV movie this would make. Pondering tapping B-list starlets like Brian Austin Green to play a hot-shot volunteer fire fighter, Tori Spelling to play his tear-streaked, 'no-don't-go-into-the-fire-alone' screaming girlfriend and some 60-something bit actor to play the 'seasoned' firefighter/mentor/father figure.
