I didn't mean to worry everyone when I said we were packing up a bug out bag. We are safe, the big fires are outside of the city, close to my mom, but she is ok too. But a fire broke out a few blocks from us...and with this hot wind...

We realized it would take 30 minutes just for one of us to put the pet carriers together and...what if? We live five blocks from a Pine tree covered park/volcano/Mt. Tabor that looms above us like a dried candle wick after two days of hot winds. So, we are being careful.

But we are in no danger. Well, except we are breathing rotten pumpkin colored air. Mostly worrying because the fire is racing towards the farm communities I grew up in-I know wild animals will be running from trees to town (keep your pets in, put out buckets of water).

So, please, do not worry about me. We just wanted to be a little better prepared. But that is not because we are in danger, it is because we don't want to worry about it.
Much love to those red spots on the map all up and down the west coast.
