This week I had to answer the question , What would you take and what would you leave behind! When the Creek Fire in Central CA started we took a couple truck loads of antiques, family heirlooms, guns and ammo, to our sons house about 50 miles away. When we got the 2 hour notice to get out, we loaded our horses, dogs and cats, some food, clothes, and that was about all that would fit. I looked around at what we were leaving, And it was still most of what we have. Lucky for us the wind changed and the fire stayed east of us by a couple miles. When I knew we would be sleeping in our own beds I donated our camping tent to a family that would not be going home. I'm sorry that's all I could give them!
Today it looks like the fires up and down the west coast are being set by Antifa people. 20 have been arrested so far in Ore. And Obama Tweeted that it would get worse if you don't vote Dem! If I didn't know about the arson arrests I might not put the two together! More Mostly peaceful protests. DR

Been wondering if you were affected. Glad you dodged a bullet! Got a buddy in Salem and things are every bit as bad in Oregon.

The two towns close to me lost a few houses and summer cabins, but the towns were saved. One of them [North Fork] is an old logging town that has barely survived without its mill and loggers, was nearly burned. The Gov and Senator Kamala Harris were touring the fire damage and stopped at the Red Cross station to shake hands, and make a little speech about Climate Change. The problem is These people know first hand why the forests are full of dead wood! And its not climate change! The others the Gov found there were a bunch of Trump supporters with there trucks that were helping those evacuated with moving their stuff, finding places for there animals, pulling their trailers, etc... When the Gov tried to make his comments one of the Trump supporters handed him and Harris a petition to sign. The petition was to remove him as Governor! They just got in there car and left. I doubt his Media guys will be showing that! DR
