    This was breaking news on a local SD TV station. I'm trying to get the print version.

    That's1300 sq. miles that they don't have to worry too much about burning next year.

    I was in the SAC area last week. It was hazy and smokey. In fact, it always smelled like the smoldering burn pile in my side yard.

    It's been so wet here in IN that two attemps to burn the aforementioned pile have been unsuccessful.

    But remember, there are those who feel that beach bonfires should be banned because they cause "global warming."

    In actual dollars, President Obama’s $4.4 trillion in deficit spending in just three years is 37 percent higher than the previous record of $3.2 trillion (held by President George W. Bush) in deficit spending for an entire presidency. It’s no small feat to demolish an 8-year record in just 3 years.

    Under Obama’s own projections, interest payments on the debt are on course to triple from 2010 (his first budgetary year) to 2018, climbing from $196 billion to $685 billion annually.
