Boy, we could use some overhead water here right now….
I know it would be therapeutic…. not just to my head, but to the whole area….
Quite a day.
I want to thank those who posted for or about me on yesterday’s strip…
let’s see, in order of appearance…. Happy, JP Steve, Rose, x_Tech and Mr. Sherman…
plus anybody I missed or who sent good thoughts my way, silently or otherwise.
Thank you so much for your concern….
I’m OK.
For those who don’t know, I live in Santa Rosa CA, the northern part of which has been devastated over the last 24 hours by uncontrollable fires….
hundreds of homes and businesses destroyed in a few hours… whole neighborhoods gone.
A big K-Mart, Trader Joe’s, restaurants, all ashes, and two hospitals evacuated.
Smoke is everywhere; stores are closed because so many employees can’t come in.
Luckily, for me, anyway, I live about 7 miles south of the current fire line….
but though they’re starting to get a handle on it, the fire is still uncontained.
So far the winds are blowing north and east, which is expected to continue…. and that has kept it away from the middle of town, and farther south.
Worse… I wanted to come here earlier to say this stuff,
but I just spent a few hours on the phone with a close friend,
who told me tonight that her house had unexpectedly burned down, far from the fire, but quite possibly ignited by embers on the wind.
As I said… quite a day.
