#HolyFire.
Doug
here,
It
looks like my updates to the DougReport may be
lacking for awhile. Not only am I on crutches with
my broken femur, but now we are under a mandatory
evacuation due to a California wildfire.
My
wife and I are staying with one of our daughters
and have no idea how long it will be before we can
go back home (note the optimism).
We
live at the base of a mountain that is engulfed
with flames. The brave firefighters are doing
their best to protect property but it is tense.
