California is on FIRE!

Ok I figure I'll continue this blog thing since its not a bad idea thanks to my UWP104 class. What is up with California? Over 800 fires? And they're created by lightening! See I told you that the world is fighting back... An interesting topic arose as I went to contribute my continued donations to the California Indian's, more specifically the Thunder Valley tribe, amongst my friends and I. Some of them mentioned that the world is going to end in 2012 because all of the old calendars (Mayan, Aztec...?) all end at 2012. Then to further back up their claims, they mention Nostradamus (sp?) and that he predicted it too... my counter to them was, what happens if we make it to 2013? One of them said that the calender thing isn't true, that those civilizations didn't believe that the world is going to end, its just that the area in which it was written, the calendar that is, ran out of room! We shall see who's right! At this rate, the world is doing a good job in trying to regain power and restore natural order. Interesting...
