Life in Twin

Just to update you all I will tell you a little about things in Twin Falls. Twin is a very white city but everyone is very nice here. In fact the realty lady's secretary is from S. California and she said she calls this place Twinkie Falls because it is very white and very sweet. I agreed. Last Wednesday four of us went downtown and listened to a band along with a couple hundred other natives. It had a small hometown feel to the get-together and I think they do it every week with different types of bands.
There also seems to be really bad fire seasons here. Every week we have a new fire that takes a couple days to put all the way out. It is kind of neat though because when we are in the truck driving and driving all day we can listen to the two way radio and hear all the details of what is going on and how contained the fire is and such.
The fourth of July should be pretty cool too. They are setting off fireworks at the college which is about a mile from our house. We get a front row seat. I also saw someone in our neighborhood wheeling some bleachers in here. I don't really know what they are for but I'm thinking the 4th.

Fires are a good thing, though, aren't they?

They can be but these fires are huge. Some burn as much as 25,000 acres which mostly grow back as cheatgrass which is not good.

Fires are good in the San Berdu hills because of all the dead trees and the trees need the fires to release their seeds.
