I was afraid we'd have to share a bunk. Actually I was afraid we wouldn't get to share a bunk. That's it.

We're ok, thanks Luke. No power, going to a nearby hotel for the duration. Taking it day to day.lukethedrifter wrote: ↑September 10 20, 3:27 pmThat’s when i was there, hanging out with Joe & his fam.

EDIT: The Guardian with an article about the crazy rumors about this fire. FWIW, the hill we live on is the next one to the right just off this picture at the top of the article:

Re: Wildfire near the house
My wife is tired of me saying "we live in a beautiful place." We love it here. We don't have to worry about tornadoes, blizzards, or stultifying humidity. But these fires, yeesh.IMADreamer wrote: ↑September 11 20, 8:15 amHoly cow Joe, that's scary as hell. BTW, where you live beautiful with the mountains back there. Wow.

Re: Wildfire near the house
A good description of where I live now.
My wife, daughter, and I went down to Talent for the first time this afternoon and then I came back to see this article in the NY Times. It's disorienting to go through a place you used to know that is no longer there. In 1989 we lived through the Huntsville, Al November tornado that destroyed a major commercial plaza. That was the same feeling. But here it isn't just a couple of streets, it's half the town. And two thirds of another.
What a country. What a year.
