jcollie719As many people are aware, the Waldo Canyon Fire was sparked late last week and has now burned over 15,000 acres in parts of western Colorado Springs and El Paso County. I'm currently fine as I live on the east end of town, but some of my friends and co-workers have had to evacuate.
I've heard that a little rain began falling in town earlier. Hopefully more will come soon.
Finally, as much as I hate to steal one of Bucktown Tiger's bits, Today's Not Cool Award goes to two groups: The scumbags posing as United Way workers asking for donations door-to-door (The Pikes Peak United Way confirmed those people are NOT with the organization) and the scumbags misusing the #waldocanyonfire hashtag on Twitter to make political or other unrelated statements. People have lost their homes and others are unsure if their homes are still standing, yet all you care about is drawing attention to your unrelated posts.
