Oh yeah. One of the all-encompassing thoughts I had
when I was young and innocent is that when I grew up
I'd be able to do whatever I want.

What I meant was what had to be going through the
parents' minds about what might happen to the children,
rather than how the children themselves were reacting.
It's much easier to accept the possibility of your own
disaster than of your child's, no ?

Exactly. The ultimate responsibility I'm sure was overwhelming.

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.

with ya'll and your neighbors.... next we meet, the guineeees are

Glad to hear you are, at least so far, relatively unscathed. From out here
on the right coast, the news is showing us a 45 mile wall of fire that's
visible from space. It's hard to imagine what it's like for you out there.
Good luck, and keep everybody safe.
