Do you prefer dogs or cats, and what does your answer say about you? A recent study determined that those who said they preferred cats tended to be higher in openness and neuroticism personality traits, while self-identified dog people tended to have higher rates of extroversion and agreeableness. Other studies on this show that those who identify as dog people tend to be more dominant in social interactions and more narcissistic, while those who identify as cat people (at least in one study) were more likely to be female. But, researcher Mike Delgado, says these studies are all influenced by a number of factors that won’t yield accurate results, including the fact that most respondents are often those who have very high pet attachment levels. He adds that the big thing that’s not being studied at all is what makes people who like pets at all different from those who don’t like or want pets.

This morning on the Magic Morning Show, Gino was joined by Wildfire Prevention Specialist Mark Wiles on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service and White Mountains National Forest (WMNF). Mark and Gino discussed the WMNF and how it’s continuing to implement fire restrictions. These restrictions allow fires ONLY in installed metal fire rings or grills at designated campgrounds or picnic areas. Click below to listen to the interview and check out all the info.

 

The state of NH is under a under a Governor’s Proclamation fire ban and even with the recent rain the drought depleted lakes, ponds and rivers,  so fire danger is still high and it’s difficult to fight wildfires with low water availability.

Visitors should always use existing fire pits and NEVER leave a campfire unattended. WMNF fire restrictions include: Lighting, building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, barbecue or grill is allowed ONLY in U.S. Forest Service provided metal fire rings, metal fire pits or pole mounted grills at designated campgrounds or picnic areas. Unattended or abandoned campfires can quickly escalate into wildfires.

ALL campfires must be completely extinguished before leaving a site. Campers and day users should have a shovel on hand and a water bucket ready for use. Soak, stir, feel, repeat. Make sure your campfire is “dead out” and cold to the touch before departing. Stay informed regarding any fire conditions and follow all guidelines and restrictions.

Public use, including dispersed camping is at record high levels.

The public is encouraged to report illegal campfires, as well as smoke reports, to your local White Mountain NF District Office or 911.

If it is not on the following list of WMNF campgrounds a fire is NOT allowed:

Barnes Field Group Campground

Crocker Pond Campground

Dolly Copp Campground
