Palm trees are candles in the murder wind

... oh, wait... - thanakar, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Do you all know that wildfires are necessary! It is because we keep putting this things out year after year that we get such bad ones. It is necessary to let the underbrush burn from time to time for nature to do its work.
