Yesterday afternoon Jenny and I spotted about three fires on our weekly drive to Hale Center. This one was by far the largest of those we saw and actually was just outside the city limits about a mile from her parents house.

After lunch Mrs. Mull announced she was going to Plainview to Wal-Mart to get some more Christmas lights for their tree and Jenny went with her (they didn't find them by the way). This gave Mr. Mull and I a chance to test out their new car's 0-60 ability (talk about a new twist on the Sunday afternoon drive). The car went 0-60 in 9.4 seconds. It is a Olds Intrigue but I don't remember the year. After we tested the car we drove to the other side of town and drove around the fire. during lunch the fire had gotten bigger and was putting out a lot of smoke. In fact it was putting too much smoke to be just a grass fire so our take was that they were either burning a barn full of tires or some kind of "evidence".

In other matters, School is not too busy but it is just busy enough to drain me of most good ideas for blog entries.
