Driving (Staff Blog)
My son Richard and I drove a U-Haul truck from New York City to Liberty County last week. It was a long, expensive trip.
Most places the price of gasoline was still under $4 a gallon, though in New York the price was nearing $4.50 at several stations.

What's That Smoke?
More than likely it is from a Prescribed Fire.
Prescribed fire is defined as fire applied in a knowledgeable manner to forest fuels on a specific land area under selected weather conditions to accomplish predetermined, well-defined management objectives.
Early American settlers found Native Americans using fire in pine stands and adopted the practice themselves to provide better access, improve hunting, and get rid of brush and timber so they ...
