I'm still alive

The forest fires have complicated matters a bit around here. Had to evacuate some friends who had been engulfed in smoke for days. They didn't realize how close the fire actually was. Had to drive through the fires to reach them, the fires were on both sides of the road, I had about 50ft of leeway on either side on the way in. They said it was periodically raining ashes and burned leaves. I'll share more about it when I can. Exciting things happening...
