I imagine you all have heard the news about fires in Texas. It is extremely dry and I am keeping an eye on the area around us, but we never know when something might start up. You can see from the photo that the McDonald Observatory (affiliated with the Astronomy Dept. here at UT) is in the thick of it. The news reports are not exactly accurate all the time (what's new) and they variably report many more houses and buildings being destroyed than my friends at the Observatory report. The pictures above are from a week ago, but now they are doing back burns, which seem to be working, and the pictures look worse, but are actually more hopeful.
And that's my news today.
