Neighbor ....

Spent the most enjoyable, productive part of my adult life in Paradise or MDR in SoCal, a couple clicks north of y'all

I have always been a big-boat kinda guy and MDR was boat heaven - SD not a bad 2nd spot, und a lot warmer

One particular beautiful evening I invited a young lass from NOLA on a romantic cruise only to watch Malibu burn to
the ground - what a devastating site from the ocean - Dante's Inferno Revisited - romantic it was not

The fires on top of the water-rationing, on top of all the daily Richter R&R nonsense was a sign that it was time to move
on .... dont even talk to me about their carpetbagger taxes ....

Sold everything and went to visit with some friends in HK & PI - landed up in the Land-of-Smiles [Thailand]

It is simply frightening what gross mismanagement has done to my/our State - it used to have the 2nd highest GDP in
the world, right behind the US - its now 3rd world + everybody warns me never to re-visit MDR again

Take care of yourself, your loved ones - will leave the porch-lite on for y'all..

Highest Regards

Jack

Folks, remember the no politics rule. Don't steer this in that direction.

Well we are having a devastating time here in the McKenzie river communities east of Springfield Oregon.
Blue River and Vida are totally destroyed. Still too much smoke to fight the fire from the air. It is bad and getting worse.
Smoke everywhere in western Oregon since Monday evening.

Looks like the "time-window" humans had to reverse climate change is now closed ...Fires, floods, tornadoes and extreme weather await all of us now

Some geo-locations are affected more than others.

The area just east of us went from Level 1, Get Ready straight to Level 3, Go Now.
So we are getting more stuff packed quickly. May not take my desktop computers because I can't lift very much.
Taking two laptops.
I still hope we won't have to evacuate but we are preparing.

My uncle lives is Chula Vista. I hope they contain the fire. Stay safe out there!

@Stevo and others in the region..

Thoughts are with you, truly unprecedented times in so many ways, even if you're not in immediate danger the smoke pollution and ash fallout can't be great to deal with either..:-(

A blessing that I do not have to go far
for the most accurate report from the region comes from Stevo.
Our Dad is in Escondido so this best current news is welcome from Stevo. Thanks.
To duane i would say if you have a place to go, do not wait. For all of our comfort and Yours, relocate.
