They Are Back
The buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio, the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano, and the wildfires return to California.
CalFire lists five fires that started on May 1st as a result of gusty winds and low humidity.
The Summit Fire in Riverside County was the big news yesterday, but today a new fire in Ventura County, the Springs Fire, has grown to 8,000 acres today.
California is dealing with hundreds of wildfire more that normal this year.

Keeping Oil In Its Place
So, McClatchy says that after a month no one knows why the Exxon pipeline leaked in Arkansas, despite the fact that the damaged section burst according to all descriptions. The government and Exxon have agreed to say that 5000 barrels [210,000 gallons] of diluted bitumen leaked and the whole area smells like the pit at a Jiffy Lube with a new roof being installed.
Now we learn that the same pipeline, Pegasus Pipeline, has sprung a leak in Missouri. Not to worry, though, because the crack Exxon response team immediately switched from Red Man to Dubble Bubble and picked up a new roll of duct tape from MalWart. If that doesn’t get it, they are prepared to switch to Slime and Rescue Tape.
They might consider getting the name of a good plumber.
