Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> Thankfully wildfires are very rare in these parts...   
      
   Quite a few nasty ones just to the north of you in Ontario.  However as of   
   yesterday the number of wildfires in the interior of BC jumped to over 400.  I   
   did say it could all change at a drop of a hat.   
      
    NB> Hopefully they are just being shy, and everything is ok with them   
      
   Agreed.  However I'd feel more at ease if I caught sight of them every now and   
   then just to confirm.  This has definetly been the longest stretch of no   
   contact since I have been in this neighbourhood.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
