Very elegant forest fire documentary

https://youtu.be/jGMbqiOzrH8


The expert study of tree rings reveals forest fires in low altitude north America, west, occurred every five years on average for centuries or millennia (in the case of the older California redwoods). Human settlement stopped this natural cycle of forest fires resulting in mega fires due to forest overgrowth and no back burning controlled fires. Certain species like the connifer in new Mexico do not appear to be able to survive changing circumstances due to their reproduction cycle. The common Australian eucalyptus seems to be perfectly adapted for forest fires and heat. Some forest trees actually cannot even reproduce without fire.



Yesterday, Monday, was a really bad day for me due to being extremely sick. Ended up sleeping 20 of 24 hours. A lot of it troubled sleep and feeling like dying or something. Also that Stephen King movie didn't help at all as way too nasty. This strep/tonsillitis throat infection came up ten days ago and I intentionally disregarded my doctor's advice and only took half my antibiotics dose, i.e., five days worth instead of ten or something like that. Bad choice, it all flared up and I'm totally knocked out, with yesterday being an incredibly difficult day.
