>      This past weekend I was burning the brush pile ( 320 cu. ft.)
> that had accumulated in the back yard.  The neighbor's 7 year
> old girl came over and wanted to help (fires _are_ fascinating).
> I said sure, and she picked up some twigs and found a red pepper,
> an Arledge Hot (I toss rotted, bug-eaten or otherwise failed chiles 
> in the pile).  She asked if she could throw it on the fire, and I said 
> sure.  Then she found an orange one (Bulgarian carrot) and threw
> that on the fire, too.  She played around a while then found some-
> thing more interesting to do.  
>      About a half hour later, I was finishing up and drinking a beer
> while talking to her dad, and he casually mentioned she was inside
> with an ice-pack on her upper lip.  Turns out she had wiped her nose
> (no Kleenex, of course) and gotten a case of Hunan Lip.
>      I apologized profusely (of course) and he was very understanding.
> They know I grow some hot stuff, and he took it as more of an
> educational experience for her, "Now you know why we told you to
> be careful around that!".  
>      I was just thankful she didn't get a face full of smoke.
