About 85%. That's why starting a forest fire is a Class C felony in Oregon. 5 year prison sentence, $125,000 fine.Curious…how many forest fires would you guess are set by arsonists?

It can be 100% Amish country and there are parts where there’s few Amish.Interesting. That's where my first North American ancestor settled in 1746 - Samual Caldwell. Most of his grandkids relocated to Clearfield County, where my grandfather was born I still have distant cousins there, maybe in Lancaster County too. That's Amish country now, isn't it?
According to a 2017 PNAS paper, arson is thought to be responsible for 29%, but humans are thought to start 88% of wild land fires, so that may be an undercount.Curious…how many forest fires would you guess are set by arsonists?
Good. Too bad the same fine is not applicable to those burning downtown Portland.About 85%. That's why starting a forest fire is a Class C felony in Oregon. 5 year prison sentence, $125,000 fine.
Wow, lots to contemplate there goeduck…..Good. Too bad the same fine is not applicable to those burning downtown Portland.
Predicted 99 here Thursday and Friday. Wouldn't it be great to bottle some of that heat for winter? I guess that's what geothermal heat pumps do.Mornings continue to be nice. Clear skies, cool temps & no smoke. Afternoons - a walk thru Hell. Yesterday at 5pm - 96F. 35 degrees hotter than right now.
