    That's actually West Virginia, no? And seeing those tiny streams of water on the fire, relative to the size of the fire... wow.

      Cut him some slack - he has to squint to see that far!

        Oh. Yeah. My mistake.

        I'd like to clarify that I do know that West Virginia is, for some strange reason, not a part of Virginia.

          I wouldn't have thought otherwise. Of course, I have friends who say that the reason West Virginia is "almost heaven" is because it is right next to Virginia.

            It was part of Virginia until midway through the War of Northern Aggression, when it split from the rest of the state and got admitted to the Union as a new one.

                I didn't know that. Thanks.

                  Well, that's a lot. I know someone who lives there. Guess I've got a phone call to make.
                  "If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

                    I'm wondering if the smoke/fumes are climbing, or hovering closer to the ground as they spread.
