The short story: Fire came to eat us and our house at 2:15 Sunday morning.
Fortunately for us, it didn't quite succeed. Our family and house are fine
and dandy, albeit well smoked. A small amount of fire damage to the porch,
but nothing that can't be repaired. We are so much luckier than most in our
neck of the woods. I'll be off the air for a while until utilities are
reinstated in our neighborhood. But before I sign off, I would like to thank
all the well-wishers for your thoughts and prayers. BMIA to those that put
no stock in such things.

You might take a minute to fumble your beads, kiss your rug, or whatever you
chose to do along those lines for the rest of the folks in the area are that
aren't enjoying the good luck that my family has.

Among your many friends, I wish you and yours continued good fortune and
the smile of Providence.

The Arabs have a nice greeting that is (phonetically) said: "Ah, Salahm
Ahli Khum" which, literally translated says "Peace upon you". Good in
any language.

Funny that a fishing line makes a helluva bond...........or introduces
the opportunity. Special waters to share with you in NC and special
wishes for you and yours in the meantime.
