It burned more than 300 acres in less than four hours. And the grass is still relatively wet! Yikes. It was quite the event last night. Today, there is still a bit of smoke coming off the mountain and lots of helicopters buzzing around town dropping water on it. Boy, another eight full weeks of summer.<br /><br />Anyway, here is another really interesting <a href="http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2008/07/10/news/mtregional/news06.txt">story</a> that the Daily Missoulian printed yesterday about a former smoker who quit a couple of years ago after several tries, and now she's running in a marathon. She's not only running in a local marathon, she's gunning for a fast-enough time to qualify for the Boston Marathon. So, it's never too late to quit. She says now she can't even imagine smoking a cigarette. The thought of a cigarette makes her want to throw up.Pepe Lepewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17719557482979323749noreply@blogger.com
