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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Stay safe, -t.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the thoughts. We should have a better grasp on the situation after Coco sees the oncologist tomorrow. (They're squeezing us in because, as these things always go, we leave for vacation on Saturday.)
-t, hoping for calm winds.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Fred, I'm so sorry for you and Hubs. I'm glad Coco picked you.
Sorry to keep dumping all this on y'all, but you're a giant component of my support network and so easy to reach.
-t, you just keep on dumping, we're here for it. And FWIW, I think you're making the right call. One of my team members was in that middle-of-the-night evacuation and I just can't imagine. (They all got out safely but the house is gone.)
