Wildfires in #Texas during February. FOUR of them, actually.
@Agatha I've seen so many videos of horses and cows running on the roads down there trying to get away from the fires. It's just awful! The complex is so big, can see it from space now... ๐ซ
Fire season now starts in February? Oy...
Here in Albuq we had fire warnings for 2 or 3 days last week. Seems like climate change is ratcheting up FAST.
Indeed it does.
I've been trying to come up with a plan to get away for this summer, but even going north is no guarantee - the west coast of Canada has been experiencing massive fires the last few years. Where else can one go???
I wish I had the money to move to Europe. The UK, while they've had flooding in some areas and the temps are higher than their used to, would bother me. Or Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, France, Austria.
Maybe, if I'd been better at squirreling away money when I was younger, then just maybe I could have escaped but I've never been good at dealing with money. ๐
@see_the_sus Post-Brexit UK is to be avoided. Mainland Europe is a good goal. I'd go to Netherlands if I could.

I see where people with Irish grandparents can be granted dual citizenship. Looking at my 23&Me heritage results, I've got the percentage that equates with grandparents, but in reality, it is just the sum of many part Irish ancestors. I think.
@BlueStateBabe I *do* have Irish grandparents on my Dad's side and yes, it's tempting. @see_the_sus @SandHillThicket

Maybe I could claim to be an orphan not knowing my parentage, and therefore I need to go solely based upon my DNA "proof".
Think it'd work?
Nah...
