> I don't know if any of you have caught this little tidbit of news online or on the television, but right now, southern Georgia (in particular, the Okeefenokee National Wildlife Preserve) and north Florida, (Baker, Bradford, Duval counties, in addition to others) are ... how should we say... on fire. Such a fact wouldn't be too shocking, except that this has gone on for almost 3 weeks now!

(The fire is approx. 10 - 15 miles NW of us). I have every belief that the fire will be put out well before it reaches us, but I just wanted to let you know that if you read something about this fire in the news (Macclenny or Baker County, Florida), I'm down here in the middle of it... and probably playing adventure games live.

Update -- 4:00 PM EST:

Well, it looks like New York City on a rainy night at 2:00 AM right now. It's really dark outside because of all the smoke, even though it's the middle of the day. It's really freaky looking. Most of my workmates think I'm odd to say it looks cool.

The smoke isn't as thick as I thought it'd be, but I guess that's because smoke rises, and unless you're right there, it's not too thick. I'm gonna take some pictures here in a few minutes if I can get a hold of a camera and see if I can put some pictures up for you all to see. I feel like General Sherman is coming through the south again.
