all:

Again, this is second-hand information, but what I've heard about the field
burning is that the local farmers get the go-ahead from a "main office" down
in Boise (not sure what department -- State Dept. of Ag, maybe?).  Anyhow,
the local farmers have a "window" in which they are allowed to burn, and all
they go by is weather reports, not local observations.  I have also heard
that some local farmers were *NOT* going to burn until they got some rain,
after the last few "getaways".

Here's to hoping we see some precipitation soon,
