Uncatagorized.....things we see....

This was last night around 10:30pm. Looks like a sunset but it's a neighbors pasture burn. Was a little too windy for my taste but that's how they do it out here. Burn baby burn!

Good luck man!
That fire last night moved fast. Within a minute of taking that pic it was completely to the right of that little clearing in the trees. Then 5 minutes later you could hardly see a glow.

From your pic it looks to be roaring. Must not have been a heavily grazed pasture, looks like a lot of fuel?

This past year was different than normal in that most ponds dried up and guys were selling herds. Now prices are sky high for replacements so some pastures haven't actually been grazed much. Maybe what this was? It was certainly a hell of a fire.
 
Do you live near a body of water?

314 acre lake across town ~ 1 mile

16,000 acre lake ~ 9 miles away (as the crow flies)

I've only ever seen clouds like that come off a body of water, and only when the conditions are just right. I would guess that's what caused them for you there.

FIRST OF ALL, I’M JOHN KENNEDY, NOT "THAT" JOHN KENNEDY, I AM THE

2. I BELIEVE YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID, BUT YOU CAN VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE.

3. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD OF ANYONE TRYING TO SNEAK INTO CHINA?

4. AMERICA IS SO GREAT THAT PEOPLE WHO HATE IT, REFUSE TO LEAVE.

5. LET ME SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION SUCKS.

6. I BELIEVE EXERCISE MAKES YOU LOOK BETTER NAKED. BUT SO DOES ALCOHOL.

7. WELFARE SHOULD BE A BRIDGE, NOT A PARKING LOT.

8. WEAKNESS INVITES THE WOLVES.

17. I BELIEVE THE WATER WON’T CLEAR TILL YOU GET THE PIGS OUT OF THE CREEK.

18. I BELIEVE LOVE IS THE ANSWER, BUT YOU SHOULD OWN A GUN, JUST IN CASE.
 
Trying to watch the Masters golf on TV. Instead they are basically glorifying OJ Simpson now that he is dead. Also hyping all the race divide talking points. He should not get any air time and I sure wish folks would not glorify his memory. Sadly, he got away with a double murder. Seems to me he greatly empowered the BLM and "let 'em walk" movements we are experiencing today. Enough to make me sick.
 
That was quite the trial. If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit! Then the shoe prints from his shoes at the scene but he said he never wore those ugly ass shoes. Then a dozen photos of him wearing those exact shoes. Fair trial my ass!

I suppose he will finally find justice with the Lord Almighty.
 
It's like WTF
 
The sign did its job. He stopped LOL
 
Interesting or maybe not! I am not sure if this could be maybe a musket ball? Has anyone ever found a basically perfect round rock? I don't believe I ever have and for where I found it I dont feel like it fits with the other typical rocks. It was lying in some dirt that we have disturbed around where we are building the new house. Just glanced down and right away it caught me as an odd "rock". Anyone have an idea of how to test it without jacking it all up visually?

Google "civil war musket ball" and go to images. Some look very similar. Might be worth finding an expert or joining a forum that deals with that sort of thing to ask questions. Might be a pretty cool find!

Are you near a battlefield? Start by measuring the ball. It should be about .45” (revolver), or 69” (musket ball). Many a union soldier cast balls for their .58 cal rifles once the government issued bullets ran out. I used to collect civil war artifacts, and it looks right…just remember it could be any lead ball from the 1850s to 2000s. I’ve dropped many a lead ball when loading. And, when target shooting, those balls have to end up somewhere. This one may have ended up by where you were walking!

While going to a civil war forum is a good idea, there really is no way of knowing for sure.

Cool find that is very unlikely a rock!
