    Natural gas and propane generators also have the advantage of not needing to keep gas on hand, not to mention problems with it from sitting a long time.

        Funny you mention this, Garth, because I just bought another new gas mower. That makes two mowers, and two wackers/trimmers. I'm set for life now! It's kind of fun, sort of like having the choice of different motorcycles/cars to use.

        California has, and will continue to have, fires from time to time. It's part of the natural renewal cycle of nature. I feel sorry for the (mostly) rich folk, living in the canyons and hills. That's risky. If fires don't get you, the mud slides will (when it rains a lot.) People love to live with nature, but even on a good year, it hardly rains in So. Calif, so there is always going to be fire risk.

              So climate change has nothing to do with it? Ok

                  You do realize that it is the cumulative expulsion of CO2 around the world that is the problem I hope ......

                          And only stupid people deny climate change is resulting in more extreme weather.

                            Ever notice how the posts that are NOT about motorcycles, usually start becoming a pi$$ing contest rather quickly?
