She's surrounded by the fires, but is okay as far as I know--busy
helping out with the HAM radio.

Vicki has moved to Yuba City, so she not right in the middle of the fire.
Paradise is OK too. Laura and Bill Rasmussen's (Razberi Beads) son is
fighting fires in Calif. And my mother is surrounded by fire, the Lime
complex fires (70 lightning strikes burning 12,000 acres), in the far north
of Calif in the Trinity Shasta National Forest. She's up there alone, with
no electric or phone (even cell or satellite) available, and unable to
drive. Stubborn old woman!

Here in Alaska, we just got our first significant fire. That one is at my
niece's village. But we're having a good season, a wet June, so most of our
fire fighters are "Outside" (of Alaska).

Thanks Tina. I hope your mother is OK and gets through this OK.

Tina, I have thought about your mom and you this week. The fires are
horrid, and smoke is quiite unhealthy. Can barely see across the river today
as the winds shifted yet again. Last update I heard regarding Paradise is
that they are trying to build a dozer line around the town. The lightning
storm that triggered all these fires was the worst I have seen here, and
ignited literally hundreds of "sleeper" fires that smoldered quite sometime
before bursting out. Today we ht 107 degrees, and have the possibility of
more dry lighting looming over us.

I wish she would go back to town, but she'll probably want to "protect her
property". I'll feel better when I know someone has checked up on her. The
fire has doubled in size since yesterday morning.

Mothers!!!

Thanks for thinking of me. I understand that there's more dry lightning
expected this weekend, but I don't see a new report this morning.

I check to fire reports for the Shasta Trinity Forest first thing every day.

Are you safe from fires at this time? The valley there must be just choked
with smoke now. That and 107 degrees must be miserable.

I feel so lucky to be in this cooler Alaskan summer weather. It's raining
today, so I'm baking Pete some of his medicinal muffins. Just enough heat
to chase the humid chill. Our fire of the season here is in Arctic Village
where my niece is from, but the rest of our fire fighters are in Calif.

Are you doing well? and your daughter?

For me, even if I bitch occasionally, life is good. I am so blessed to have
Pete. And I'm so glad he'll be at my side when we go to Susie's wedding in
Sedona. My ex will be there and I know Pete's presence will keep me happy
and prevent me from telling Steve what an ass I think he is for refusing to
help Susie with her wedding expenses, after he inherited a couple million
from his parents!!!!

I'm bead crocheting her a small white bag and making other stuff for the
wedding. She's marrying such a nice man.

They have finally posted a map showing not only the locations of the fires,
but also the extend of them. Mom has a couple large fires within 10 miles
in 3 directions, and several small ones within 5 miles, plus more lightning
strikes within a couple miles. But she's out of the most dangerous places.
She should be safe.
