The most blessed news I've heard in some time:

Level 1 reduced to Level Zero

We're still in a very bleak place in Oregon, as wildfires continue to spread.  The sun is pink, and everything is grey outside.  It's difficult to breathe with all the smoke in the air.  At the moment, my area remains at "Level 1" of alertness with fires just a few miles to the south and east.  My family is fine, and we have a few options of places to go if we are forced to evacuate. 

The advice I gave my children is what I really believe.  I told them that our bodies and our memories and knowledge are all we need.  "Stuff" is unimportant.  We will be fine. 

I'm ending this status with a picture from a small town south of here.  It's a complete loss for many, and our entire community is in shock.  We will support each other as best we can.  I plan on making a giant donation to our local Red Cross. 

Thanks to all for your kind thoughts.  I do appreciate it very much.  I appreciate the few moments of normalcy and distraction from you all here in the forums. 

Sorry to be a downer, but out here in Oregon, things are very bleak.  Fires throughout the state are devastating lives and homes and entire communities.  As I type this, the sky outside our home is an eerie orange.  Fires loom only miles away.  It's windy and dry and hot.  I'm terrified.  We are packing bags tonight in case the call comes to evacuate.  I've lived here my whole life, and never experienced anything like this.  Take care of yourselves, everybody.   

🏹 Playing Crossbow this week on 7800 Ave, do you play it w/ a Light Gun or Joystick? 

Posting from my new iMac! 🙂 

One of the biggest lies any Youtuber will tell, is this opening line or intro announcement : 
"I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO".........
Seriously, knock it off 🤨🙄😛

I've decided to try replaying the original NES "Legend of Zelda".  I don't think I ever finished the game, and it's been 30+ years since I've tried it.  

🤔 How do you say it?: S’ness or S.N.E.S. I’ve always said “Super NES”

Just so you guys don't think I'm dead (because of no posts lately) -- although I'm sure @MaximumRD would respectfully report on it if I was, there's a new project I've been working on.  Restoration of a 2003 Subaru.  It's got a water leak (which makes it smell bad), and needs some engine work.  But I'm having FUN with it.  My father was an auto mechanic.  It feels good to get the hands dirty.

AND...I got a NEW JOB!  I start next week.  Should be lower stress.  I hope. 

My beloved Portland Trail Blazers are in the Western Conference Finals!  Unbelievable. 

Ninja Golf should’ve been released on the Lynx

Hey guys I just joined, How is everyone?

Well that was a bumpy ride ?

Well, guys...I made it to the big 5-0! Hard to believe. I don't feel that old. I think video games have kept me young.
