Mother Nature

The Maxwell Fire is 40% contained, but the fire fighters are expecting it to flare and spread tomorrow with higher temperatures, less moisture, and more wind.  The fire started about a half-mile from a shooting range.  Possible causes of the fire are being investigated.  ...  Mother Nature does not want silly, puny humans to interfere:  a 45-year-old man was body surfing in a white-water kayak area, and has drowned;  a kayaker on the Colorado River wearing both a life-vest and a helmet was killed in white water.  A young lady (in her early 20s) decided to casually hike by the Red Rocks Amphitheater and fell more than 100 feet to her death.  ...  And did you see the video that a news reporter at New Smyrna Beach, Florida caught on his phone?  A spinner shark breaks out of a wave and leaps, spinning, over a man waiting to catch a wave on his surf board. ...  The weather folks said that we would have lots of isolated, nasty, thunder and lightning storms tonight - nothing so far.......
