    We are in desperate need of some rain! Forest fires all around us (currently 38 of them, covering over 28,000 hectares). This all started last Sunday and has progressed from there. I was out camping for the weekend, came out of the bush on Monday without a clue what was going on. When I got to the highway, I saw dozens of vehicles parked on the side of the road, waiting to be escorted back to the city. After waiting for over an hour, we were able to get home.

    Now, they've closed off every highway in and out of the city, shut down the airport. Our city of roughly 45,000 people are living under one big cloud of smoke and falling ashes right now. As of 3PM this afternoon, the city is now in a state of emergency. This is completely and utterly insane.

    So, step on a few spiders would ya!

    Yikes!

    Is there any chance that you might have to be evacuated? Either way i'm hoping you stay safe out there.

      I wish I could send you some of our rain....I'm so sick of the dang rain. Only supposed to be sunny tomorrow here. The rain will return after that.

        Some parts of the city (West end) are being evacuated as we speak, but mostly due to heavy smoke. The fire is still about 40 Kilometres away from the city...which is not that far if you put things into perspective. It's windy and hot as hell today too!

            Today is windier than yesterday. I bet the firefighters are having a hell of a time trying to put out any of the flames today. It rained a little this morning but now the sun is shining. Pretty scary stuff...

                Out of control forest fires are scary, but what does this have to do with spiders?

                  There's just a myth that when you kill a spider, it can make it rain.

                  We've been lucky enough to get quite a bit of rain the last couple of days. The fires have diminished considerably.

                      I'll **** up spiders even if it were raining for 40 days and 40 nights. But with a new found urgency, consider it done.

                      It's time to hunt.
