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.

Small bags are packed, and we have a place to go if things turn bad. If the call comes, we'll be ready to go. Thank you for the thoughts, I really do appreciate it. It's evening now, and the sky is glowing orange. Lots of smoke. I know there are many others suffering, so I'm just going to stay ready and try to distract worried thoughts. We are ok and I'm thankful for that.

Here is a map of our county with the alert levels.

That's terrifying. I've said this before but a fire has always been one of my biggest fears. I think about it nearly every day. But that map? That would drive me insane. I hope you are ready to go if the time comes. Stay safe and alert. Make sure everyone is okay. I'm glad you have a place to go if it gets bad. I pray to God it doesn't get bad.
