    I’m not hungry but could probably use some Chai tea. We had the poop scared out of us yesterday. There was a 9000 acre (yes -9000!) brush fire here in West Texas. The wind was blowing in excess of 40mph so the fire spread really rapidly. The police came to our neighborhood and went house to house to tell us to evacuate. We grabbed a few papers, the kittens and left but were so worried to leave our home. My husband had turned on the sprinklers and watered but we didn’t know if that would be enough. The fire came, they said, within about a mile of where we live. After two hours, effort by lots of firefighters and water dropping helicopters, we were allowed to come home. These things happen in California but I guess I never thought of it here. All of Texas is in such a drought that the fire hazard is so high.

    I have a headache!!!

    Thank you, AL! What we learned is that we are totally unprepared to evacuate so quickly. I ended up throwing pretty worthless stuff in a bag and leaving some important things that we would have needed. We’re thinking that we should have an emergency bag that we keep packed and ready. Catching Windi was one of the hardest parts. Poor baby – she was terrified. I’m sure that they could smell the smoke and knew that something was wrong.

    Thanks, Miu! Willow hissed for hours at Windi after we were able to come home. Poor Windi – Willow blames her for everything! When they went to “the spa” Willow was quite convinced that it was entirely Windi’s fault. And Windi is just so clueless!

    I think that I’m off to sew a bit because I always find that to be calming (except when I totally mess up!). Hopefully there won’t be any more disasters today! Although all of Texas is still under a red flag fire advisory.

    Please send rain, somebody!

    OMG, we are under a fire advisory for tomorrow. Better get the hurricane stuff ready to evacuate … but the good news is there are no fires at this time.

    That is soooooo scary W&WM…. be safe..

    WWM, one thing I would suggest (and this is for everyone) is to take all of your photos and convert them to a digital file and burn them all to CDs. Then, put those CD’s in a safe deposit box.

    That way if anything does happen, your photos are safe.

    #164343

    That’s a great idea, Instinct. We could also scan important documents and burn them to a CD.

    Please stay safe, WWM and SOM!! I’m glad you have had a practice evacuation, WWM. Now you have time to pack what you really might need in an extended absence from home.

    Exactly true 🙂

    How’s your morning going K??

    #164345

    I am easing into the morning with a strong cup of hot coffee and Furl on my lap. 🙂

    How is your morning, Instinct?

    So far so good. Wife is asleep since she was up till 5am doing homework and I’ve just been sniping at Berkley, CA on my blog and doing animation. 🙂

    I don’t think I ever pulled an all-nighter when I was in school. I always rationalized to myself that being well-rested would make me more efficient the next day.

    How is your Camero model coming? Any new pics you can e-mail?

    Sure, I’ve mostly been correcting things on it and getting proportions right,but I can send you what it looks like

    Jamie’s always been a night owl, so it work for her I guess 🙂

    #164349

    I’ll keep my eyes open for the e-mail. I never got in touch with whatever artistic talent I may have. Too much of my childhood was spent coloring inside the lines. 🙂
