OK, so on an epic bust of a day on Monday, my GF and I are trying to run some errands and it turns out there was a wild fire in neighborhood where we live (see video below - not mine).  Fortunately, no one was hurt and nobody lost a house or anything; it was in a park placed in a green belt (or yellow belt with the lack of rain we've had) away from homes.  At any rate, the Fire Department found out that the fire was caused by, get this, a San Antonio Water System (SAWS) truck on a  maintenance call - awesome. The truck was parked in the [strike]hay[/strike] grass, and the heat from the engine sparked the fire.  OK, well I thought it was funny.

We had to stay out the area for awhile (obviously), so we went to a sports bar and had a few beers and watched some football.

This one was small (200 acres) compared to the fire in Bastrop (near Austin - 40 square miles).  I think 600 homes have been destroyed thus far in the Bastrop fire.  This one got attention around here, because rich people were involved.
