And it doesn't do any good to tell my husband not to burn my Linda has the clothes out. Linda and Terry have beagles, three beagles. I don't need to say more.

My dad has a 250 acre cattle ranch in addition to being a dentist, and he does controlled burns occasionally to burn away to cedar trees so the grass and other things that are good for grazing can repopulate that land. He lives in the country just outside of a pretty small town, and he's the dentist, so everybody knows him and they would do anything to help him (he's a likable, charismatic guy, and I'm proud to be his son), so when he does these controlled burns, he has a fire truck come out and observe and stand by just in case anything gets out of control.
