Hi there S2k Friends, long time.... eh?

Well, I learned some of that fancy .html I took a year off for, maybe now I'm putting it to good use?

Here's a site dedicated to awareness of the wildfires raging in Arizona this holiday weekend.

Stunning images in Arizona;
they need rain badly,
they need your prayers too.

Pass this on,

A R I Z O N A Large Fire Location Map
WILLOW is 65,000 acres and burning to the South and West of the communities of Payson, Pine, and Strawberry. The lightning caused fire started 6/24 and is burning in timber, grass, and chaparral in extremely rough terrain. Jeff Whitney's Type 1 Team is managing the fire. Four residences and fifteen outbuildings remain threatened. The fire is estimated to be 8% contained with no total containment date predicted. Nearby water sources are limited as are control options due to the rugged wilderness terrain. The fire continues to exhibit long range spotting with extreme fire behavior. Fire activity is predicted to remain widespread today, as evidenced by yesterday's two distinct columns that developed in the afternoon as the fire burned intensely. Today, burnout will continue along the northeastern and eastern control lines and firefighters will continue to keep the fire from crossing the East Verde River. Resources assigned: 14 Type1 crews, 10 Type 2 crews, 6 helicopters, 32 engines, 9 dozers, 9 water tenders, 283 overhead, 951 total personnel. For more information, call Willow Fire Information at (928) 468-1230.

Hey, Rainband. Still kicking around the ole stompin' grounds? Fantastico.

Anyone knows a few good rain dancers? Feel free to share the link but beware: bandwidth on Yahoo/Geocities might not take too many hits.

So if there's a wait, c'st le vie..

I just thought this is a good place to promote awareness and hustle up, err... I mean offer up some prayerful thoughts of...
