Hey Alice, thanks for the web site. Some useful things in there. Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts. Last evening was exciting with WWII vintage bombers roaring over our house. I felt like I was in Europe and the Allies were coming to save us. Yesterday I was watching from the roof and some rock ledges and keeping track of the fire. Those guys in the planes are true heros. Seeing what they were flying through just makes me shake. The wind has stopped for the moment. That's good news. I couldn't get on the roof this morning as it was covered in frost. More good news. I did climb up a little bit ago but you can't see anything for all the smoke. Our harp player is out of town and was calling about her place. The first day I had good news. Yesterday I wasn't so sure. I hope she calls today as the paper lists places burned. While hers is on a street with many burned, her address isn't at least. Not so with some other friends further down toward Pine, their place is gone. EJ, it seems the old Bucksnort still stands. So far. I have to check on a rancher friend this morning as I learned they have evacuated his horses. Not much more to say. At least the wind has let up. We are spending the morning moving firewood and other burnables away from the house. Things are OK so far, we're just being careful.
