Seems typical of society these days, so many people have less and less idea about anything real even though we are supposedly smarter, but as long as they have their shopping malls and facebook and selfies then that's all that matters.
After being at work until 9pm last night, and perhaps being a bit naïve, I took the wife up One Tree Hill Road at around 11:30pm last night.
If I had known about the aforementioned alerts, I wouldn't have gone up there. I had no idea at the time that the fires were that bad. There were a shitload of cars parked on both sides up the top of the road, which would've no doubt impeded the efforts of the CFS, MFS and the Police. As soon as we discovered how bad it was, we turned the **** around and came home.
I feel like such a prick now, but I honestly had no idea it was this bad.
