Deadliest US Fires
For nearly three weeks in late February 2024, The Smokehouse Creek wildfire, sparked by a utility pole that collapsed under strong winds, ravaged large swathes of Northern Texas and western Oklahoma.
By the time it was contained in mid-March, more than a hundred million acres of land had been burned and two people and thousand of cattle and other animals had been killed, making it one of the most destructive fires in American history. This fire actually destroyed 1.05 million acres of land.

The Ruby Mountain fire in Alaska burned more than 3 million acres in. It started in August of 2024 and only ended in November of that year.

SHORT STORY
There was no light, even though the fluorescent lamps in the living room were on. She wore no glasses, neither was she visually impaired, yet still she saw no light. Her youthful appearance attracted many of the opposite sex with wide age ranges. The girl was just 24. She went out on several dates with escorts who seemed to drool over her. She was flattered. But now all of that was over.
Everything seemed to have come to a screeching halt. Her physical appearance mattered little to her now. She isolated herself and took only calls from her family and close trusted friends. Some consoled her and encouraged the girl to look at the positive side of things. She found none. Others blamed her suitors for taking advantage of her and prophesied their doom.
Her uncle took a different view. He asked her if she would open her mind and take a bit of advice from him. She listened but was resistant at first. He wasn't telling her how horrible the dates in her life had been. She wanted to hang up on him. He remained patient until she seemed willing to listen to him again. This family member had ben around and had a fair knowledge of the dating scene. He explained to her that when a young woman has that little attractive physical appearance , many males would pursue her. And the responsibility would be hers to decide what she wanted in her love life. He also advised that if she sets a goal outside of dating, then someone may pop up who is genuinely interested in her for who she has chosen to become. She interrupted by saying that all her dates seemed passionately interested in her. Her uncle corrected her that not that they were but she, when approached gave the signal that she was available. She became silent. He advised her to pause her dating for a while. She reluctantly agreed. He concluded that she wasn't silly for thinking a certain way at that point in her life, but now that she has learned a lesson she can act differently, and perhaps go on to advise another girl with the experience she has had. © Wallace Paul.

Our focus for the next few weeks will be on some old classics. We'll start with Ben E. King who at one time was the lead singer of "The Drifters." Our selection is "Seven Letters" Here the artist pleads with his estranged lover to answer the letters he had been sending her daily. The beauty of this song is authentic sound of Ben E, King. Also how he holds and bends those notes. Released in 1964, and peaking at # 11 on the US. R&B charts.
Seven Letters
This is my last letter
Dear, to you

This is my last letter, baby
I just can't write you anymore
My poor little fingers' swollen
I'm tired of pacing the floor, yes I am

Threw our favorite record
It was tearing me apart
This is my seventh letter, baby
Just to satisfy my heart

(One) Monday, I wrote and told you
I was all alone and blue
(Two) Tuesday, I wrote again, baby
I said I love no one , no one
No one but you, no I don't

(Three) Wednesday, I wired you a cable
Begging you to call
(Four) Thursday, I sent you the message
I said I was wrong and, darling
Please come back home

(Five) Friday, I woke up crying
With the sniff of a tear
(Six) come along long lonesome Saturday
I did the same thing all over again
Yes, I did

(Seven) this is my seventh letter, baby
On this bright Sunday morning
Just got off my knees from praying
I said, Oh Lord , Oh Lord
Please send her back home
Can't she hear me talking to her

This is my last letter
Dear, to you
Seven letters, seven days
Seven long, lonely days
There I said it

(This is my last letter
Dear, to you ) yes, it is
Yes, it is, yes it is
Oh, Yes , it is
