I was telling my niece who lives just thisclose to the fire that I know how hard it is to decide. My rock memorabilia {um, Chris Cornell mostly} or my kids photos? Hmm. Well, honestly, last time we had to pack up, I packed the family photos first.

I am glad that everyone is safe {but, ML you haven't really said all is well with your house?} and sorry that some are suffering from the smoke and ash.

Oh, mmg, I hope that you can find a place by the ocean for some fresh air. I remember last years fire, when we went back to work the a/c still smelled like smoke because the ash was up there being filtered through. blech!

And, don't forget, they'll probably suggest that you get your air filters {or whatever filters} changed in you vehicles. Nice, last year, Saturn did it for free as well as the Volkswagon dealer {I think}. THAT is good customer appreciation.

I hope the winds stay down. They said it takes 8-12 hours or something like that to official be over? Something in the humidity? I might be mixing up two news reports....

They were saying that even once the fire's are contained that the air will linger with this junk in it. Ughhh....i can do without all this crap in my lungs. No way will i smoke now no way. I won't touch that stuff since the ash and smoke from the fires are filling my lungs. Horrible. I need clean air to survive.

Yeah it is tough to decide what to take and what not to take. Animals first then laptop and some autographed stuff more than likely if given the chance to grab that much.

You have a great point that I learned about pets, being able to transport them. Our Kitty was a house cat and so I had to obtain a carrier.

I'm glad every one here is doing at least OK.

I'm sorry for those not so lucky. Good morning America interviewed Christopher Lloyd (aka Dr. Emmit Brown) from the charred remains of his home this morning.

He is fine. He and I spoke for a while yesterday/

Glad to read everyone is okay. I caught some of the footage on the news and was horrified.

[madmonkeygirl]

Yes sad that Christopher Llyod's house was destroyed in the fire. But glad that he's ok. Watching the footage of the people going back to the Oakridge mobile home park to see what is left of the mobile homes it's sad.

just saw an interview on tv... he had a collection of classical albums (not exactly sure what that means), many art books, and darn it... there goes my short term memory apparently.

I read that to mean, in ancient technology, classical music lps.

Le sigh, I love today's convenience, but I can still feel myself twinge as I get close to the old side changes.....

I'm glad to see that everyone here is safe and sound!
