OT [very] My Hometown is on Fire
A couple of days ago someone started a fire on the hills, possibly
illegal fireworks, just near the gun club my dad built, and where I learned so much about life and myself [besides learning to be a crack shot]. The fire is now over 5000 acres and is heading into Goleta, a town near Santa Barbara [central coast Calif]. There has been structure loss and massive mandatory evacuations. Eighteen years ago there was a fire that marched from the top of the mountain down to the ocean in less than 3 hours, destroying most everything in its path, The Gap Fire, as it is called, started in windy Gap area of the hills. It is considered the #1 priority fire in state of Calif right now as I type. That is saying something, seeing how many fires are going right now. How am I affected, 40 miles away? The smoke in the air here is unhealthy, the uncertainty of who of my friends will be evacuated next. My friend was evacuated last night. He got two carloads out and wanted to go back in but cannot. On this day of celebration please hug your loved ones, and be careful with fireworks and celebrations. Ginger in CA |
