Thankfully wildfires are very rare in these parts... but I know our West
Coast is beseiged with them... pretty scary ones, too...  Meanwhile
we've been getting some rain, and forecasts daily for more, so hopefully
that turns the tide, and doesn't overbalance...

Weather might play into it, too. I suppose... Hopefully they are just
being shy, and everything is ok with them...  More people around could
account for their reluctance to be out in the open, tis true... :)
