Good Morning KoG! Yes, please keep praying. My friend (on chemo) is back in her house, as of yesterday morning. No phone or internet service yet. So she called me on her cell after 8 p.m. It's very difficult to make sense out of what she says or why she/they did what they did. Some people don't think well during an emergency. People with "chemo brain" definitely do NOT think well during an emergency. And her very intelligent husband did no better. Or perhaps he simply gave in to keep the peace? At any rate, their house in undamaged, only one small spot of retardant, no smoke smell inside and the roofers should be up on the roof now, trying to finish the job they began 2 weeks ago. If it hadn't been for a slight change of wind, they would've lost everything. The high school and most of their neighborhood were saved, due to that slight change of wind. The fire is now 85% contained and I learned what that means: It's OUT, and they are 85% sure it will stay that way. The bulldozer is still combing through the chip piles at the mill, to uncover hot spots. The mayor and Citizen of the Year stayed in the fire zone to fight the fire. Both their houses were saved, but with garden hoses, they would've lost it all if it hadn't been for a CalFire crew who responded to their calls for help AND that slight change of wind direction! One of them was quoted as saying, "I'm not a religious man, but somebody was watching over us." Hmmmmmm. I know personally of 2 attempts to get undeserved services, and all I can say is, "Shame on YOU!" Yesterday when I delivered breakfast muffins to the volunteers, an acquaintance was wandering through the clothes. As soon as he saw me, he split. Otherwise he KNEW he'd get into an uncomfortable conversation with me about why (when he earns over $80,000 a year) was he there??? Secondly, a grandma came to pick up her kids Thursday and was in a big hurry to get to the portable showers the Red Cross set up! No matter which parent those kids are with, they live MILES from the fire zone! My emergency list is almost complete. I'm refining it, as the more I talk with my friend on chemo, the more I realize that I need to be real specific as to what to get and where to find it. I also feel I should move some things so that I can easily get to several items from the same location. I STILL may not have time in an emergency. But I'll do what I can NOW to ease the situation if it should occur. This morning the wind has shifted and is blowing in some smoke from the forest fires to the north. I fell into shock last night when my friend described Thursday night's community meeting. I did REAL good, KoG and I said nothing, but I couldn't believe my ears! The mayor said, "We will rebuild and it will be better than before."
