I'm so sorry, Fred. Coco sounds like an utter love, a true companion.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm so sorry, Fred. You make such a good home for your cats, it is no surprise that one recognized you as his person.
Thanks, everyone. There's actually blue sky this morning, oddly, but we are under a Red Flag Watning and google tells me the Atlas Fire (the one I am worried about) flared up overnight, so I'm going ahead with packing up. Supervisor is ok with it. I told her I plan to get to the office today, right now I am not confident about that, but could still happen.

It's hazy in Utah today, I guess the smoke's reaching us.

Ugh, -t, I can't believe this is happening to you again. I'm so sorry. (were you on the board in 2005?)

I'm sorry about Coco, Fred. He sounds like a love.
Much non-fire~ma, -t. I hope you'll stay safe and not lose too much.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry, Fred. It doesn't ever get easier.
So much fire~ma to -t and others being harmed. It is so scary to watch and so heartbreaking to think of all that has been lost.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Fred. It isn't ever easy.
Stay safe, -t, and yes please keep reporting in. And everybody else in the area, safe you too, and report in when you can.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The smoke keeps getting worse . ( for those that don't know - I am far from the fires), We are in a high fire probability . After the flood danger last winter I am creating a bug out box. Just a place for a change of clothes , my purse,and electronics to live in case I have to leave suddenly i toss my drugs in before I go out the door. It won't do me a lot fo good in an earthquake, but if we get into one of the situations where they let you in the house for so long - I'll know where stuff is . a basic plan makes me feel better. A lot of the people I know are doing this
