[Ansteorra] Pyromaniacs Unite!

[Susan Delk]

Therasia,

    I don't know where the other counties are, but like this other gentle 
said, Llano is in the Central Texas area.  About an hour and a half west of 
Austin, about the same north of San Antonio.  45 minutes to the east from my 
house. ;-)  Beautiful country in the spring.  What kind of info do you need 
from this area?

    And just as an FYI, most of Texas (at least out this way) is still under 
a burn ban.  So you might want to check with your local fire folks before 
"lighting up."
