I've had contact from a number of readers, outside Colorado, asking just how bad the wildfires are, and how likely my house is, to get burnt down.

Well, the one that Denver is most concerned about ( the one heading towards Denver) - the Hayman fire, is now 47% contained, which is a lot better than just 5% contained, as it was last week. Also, they've found the person who started the fire.

The person who started this fire is, get this... a forest ranger!. She's now in court, and in a whole heap o' trouble. Apparently, she started the fire by burning a letter from her ex-husband. If only he'd just emailed.
