I remember one April night when it looked like the whole prairie was on fire, it wasn't, of course, but the fire department was busy all night fighting the fires set by some losers who had nothing better to do but set fires. <br /><br />By the way, I don't mind if you put my blog on your list, that would be great. <br /><br />Mary PMerry Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15226939572361280967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-16687711750012777322009-04-17T18:39:00.000-05:002009-04-17T18:39:00.000-05:00I haven't heard of fires being started with toliet...I haven't heard of fires being started with toliet paper before.

I personally haven't experienced - but folks around here have with the occasional flood and the hurricanes. Hurricanes do give some time to prepare. So glad it didn't take your home that day. I just don't understand why some people do such stupid things. It serves no purpose.

In the last few months, just careless cigarettes thrown out the window have started roadside fires. Sometimes I cannot believe how STUPID people can be. Duh, when the grass is brown all around for miles, do you really think it is no big deal to throw a cigarette out the window??!<br /><br />Glad you all were safe and the house and the greenhouses too.
