Smoke

[Terry Beeson]

...my sister was born there, and if not for that, how else could she be married to our brother?

Hey hey hey... get your facts straight, MrsD... You're thinking of Kentucky there! In Arkansas, they do NOT marry brother and sister... only first cousins...

I just got back from Harrison, & it looked like they were burning in the Leatherwood Wilderness area where Marion, Searcy, Baxter, & Stone counties come together. I'd hate to be working on a fire crew back in there, that's rough country for sure. I couldn't spot any smoke coming up from the Jasper/Newton County area today, but it was pretty hazy all the way back to the flatlands.

Terry-she was born in Arkansas, her and my mother still have the same last name, and they are both married! That family tree don't branch! You might be a redneck if you go to family reunions as a pick up site! Beats the bars...

Yeppers being from California , I wasn't too concerned about the smoke , In 2003 California had the worst fire storm i belive in United States history . I lived in Hemet Ca 11 miles west of Palm Springs and the Mtn ranges that were between us and the desert burned for about 2 weeks . The fire came within 1 mile from our house . That was really bad smoke . California has 4 seasons High Speed Chase , Fire , Gang and then Earthquake's . Woo Hoo im glad i live in the Ozarks

Living is Arkansas is like HEAVEN!

Don't tell but we are not crippled with tons of bureaucracies about what you can and cannot do!!!

My wife worked for Green County Health dept for a number of years, even she has trouble believing we have something called FREEDOM here in the hills.

I was looking at a place a few years back near Willard, talked to my coousin abouut the dos and don't then Green County, forget it!!!! To many rules and regs and to many gov. people sticking their noses in my business.

Anywho get ready its going to be smoke filled air today.

Oh, just remember the smoke is your tax payer dollar at work to prevent massive forest fires in the GOVERNMENT OWNED BUFFALO NATIONAL RIVER. They dont want a fire like happend in Yellowstone where over half the park burned and 20 years later still has not began to recover.

The locals foght to keep their land but you know the gov gets what it wants.

In the 1950's the gov. wanted to put a dam on the river and locals foguht it but later in the mid 1970's the gov. decided if they could not build a dam they would take it for a national park!!

My history teacher Herb Van Devan fought hard against it but still lost. Plus we lost our land, not great pay off either the gov. screwed us at way below market value. How would you like to be told this is what you are getting you dont have a choice.

Breath deep its your tax payer dollar, smoke is great ain't it.
