AI6YR BenConfusing fire name of the day. The Texas Fire, in Idaho. (fire names are locally set, and usually refer to local landmarks and roads). #TexasFire
Joe Vilas@ai6yr 😯 That's ~50 miles from where my dad was born— basically on the other side of the Nez Perce reservation, just outside (to be clear, Dad was just an garden variety white guy).
@jhv Way to go, Idaho! 😉
@ai6yr It bugs me a little bit when people trash Idaho. There are probably valid reasons for trashing the state, but people there I knew were counterexamples of the reasons for the trashing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ For example, the Vilases & Castles got along just fine with the Nez Perce.
@jhv I was just quoting a line from Toy Story.
@ai6yr Ah, sorry, never seen it.
@jhv Here you go! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oex82yk952c
Gee, I'd better shave.
HumToTable@ai6yr Fire names are often interesting with some odd irony. A quick peek into Watch Duty around my neck of the woods shows there was a Horse Fire and a Water Dog fire.
pdiff1@ai6yr It’s named for the ridge, Texas Ridge.
@pdiff1 Thanks, figured it was a local landmark!
