    That fire in Canada's Fort McMurray is spreading south towards Edmonton. Horden's brewery might need protection or at least emptying before it reaches there in a week or so at the current rate.

    Who says Canada is a boring country now then?

    I hope he's okay. The pictures coming out of Canada are scary . Mother Nature at her worst.

    I'm fine but some of my friends from up in Fort Mcmurray have lost everything. That fire got out of control very quickly and 80000 people had to evacuate. The drive to Edmonton (nearest big city) is about 5 hours in normal traffic. Now put 80000 people on the one road out of town at the same time and you get carnage. Couldn't imagine what these people are going thru right now.

    Good publicity tip for you, send a keg around to the local fire house for the boys in McMurray,
