It was just a joke, folks. You chose the right moment to talk about gasoline
fires and Seattle (or the wrong moment, if you were on I-5 at the time).

BTW, our dry/hot season started a month early this year. Usually the rain
stops, on schedule, on July 5 (or the 7th if 7/4 falls on a Friday). I moved
house on the hottest day of the year last week: 95 degrees isn't much for
many of you, but it's plenty for those of us accustomed to a British/PNW
climate. It did rain briefly Saturday evening though.

It didn't burn anything except the gas in the tank. I rest my case.

Oh, please, you couldn't start a fire near Seattle if you had a match
and some gasoline.


Wrong. You don't need the match.
