funny i thought about whit ye said for a title,thanks

joak in reply to janeymac’s comment, 2 months ago

hi janey its a bit depressing bet bush fires dinny smell like this place though

janeymac, 2 months ago

They’re awful…..most of the houses in bush fire prone areas are made of timber and is a rural location.. like where I live. The fire brigade is made up of volunteers , they are trained of course!
Your right , the air is clean here . I used to live ear oil refineries , in my last house , here and the smll was terrible , you could almost taste the sulpher in the air! That’s why I moved to the country and my dogs can run . Traffic isn’t bad.

joak in reply to janeymac’s comment, 2 months ago

Sad, that they spoil the land with this.. Yet every country seems to have them. Sometimes I think we humans are the earth’s virus..We must find a better way.
