This image provided by NASA taken by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA?s Terra satellite captured this image Wednesday June 27, 2007 of the burn scar left by the Angora fire in South Lake Tahoe, center. The burn scar is dark gray, the water bodies are the southern tip of Lake Tahoe, top, and Fallen Leaf Lake, left of the burn scar. A break in the weather helped firefighters gain ground on a stubborn wildfire near Lake Tahoe early Thursday, but officials cautioned that the reprieve may be short-lived because of blustery conditions in the forecast. The fire has burned 3,100 acres, or about 4.7 square miles, and the fire was 55 percent contained on Thursday, Hawkins said. (AP Photo/NASA)

The cup says..

A Mother's Love can never be replaced.

A coffee cup is one of the few family mementos to survive a wildfire that destroyed Edward Schlinger's home in Meyers, California June 28, 2007. The four-day-old Angora Fire has consumed 3,100 acres (1,250 hectares) of bone-dry forest and destroyed 251 structures, including 176 homes, south of Lake Tahoe, one of the state's most scenic attractions and a popular recreation area.

Just don't tick Mother Nature off.

Best wishes to all those who lost so much this week.

I hate it when "journalists" don't fact check.

3100 acres = 4.84 square miles

Now I'm off in search of another nit to pick.
