We've got classic weather for fires -- warm and windy. This is the type of weather that spreads any sort of spark or fire, whether a dropped cigarette, a small fire to burn trash [I'm old enough to remember those.] or arson. Very alarming and very sad. I used to go to the Georgetown branch of the library when I lived in DC nearly 30 years ago. (This was before I found out how to really "do" genealogy.) I "found" Eastern Market weekend before last at the end of a very long and very exhausting Saturday and was planning to go this coming weekend....
