Which one did you vote for?

I know we're supposed to keep politics out of the CS, but anyone who voted for choice 2 is a bad person.

You have uniquely seen the light, I gather. It's all good!

This is the Black Bear restaurant in Paradise Ca, We think my boyfriend's moms house burned down.

Oh, no, Drifter. I'm so sorry. Prayer's up.

 

[beautress]

Seems I've been here half an hour trying to catch up. Hope every one here knows there's a candle of love or two or more, shining somewhere in the world just for you.
One of them will be in my heart for the duration.
Love,
becki

I caught the news about the Paradise fire on the way to work. I immediately thought of Gracie and Mr G. I sure hope they come through this alright. It seems like the past few years they've had nothing but bad luck or worse luck . Gracie, if you're out there, I hope you continue to be a survivor.

It's horrible. I heard 360 homes were burned down, that was last night. Paradise is a small little town. Population 26,682. If Gracie's home she rented a room from burned down then she is homeless again and living in her van.

Thanks, it's so sad for his Mom because his Dad died of lung cancer 2 years ago and left her widowed. A few years before that her daughter died of pancreatic cancer. Now her house burned down and all the photos, keepsakes, etc. Last time I visited I scanned a lot of their family pictures. At least now they will have some preserved digitally. But still, she's all alone right now. They have some churches in Chico welcoming people in. I hope Gracie got in.

If she managed to get the van out. Reports indicate lots of people had to abandon their cars and run for it.

Yes, she has evacuated and they even made her leave her car. She was taken to a church. I texted Gracie but have not heard back. It occurs to me if she is in a van her phone may or may not be charged. If they made her leave her vehicle then I have no idea if she will be able to use her phone or not.

he largest inferno, sparked Thursday morning in Northern California, prompted numerous evacuations, including several entire towns.

By Thursday night, it was apparent that Paradise, a town of 27,000 people north of Sacremento, had been devastated by the fire.

"Pretty much the community of Paradise is destroyed, it's that kind of devastation," said Cal Fire Capt. Scott McLean late Thursday. "The wind that was predicted came and just wiped it out."

At a Thursday evening news conference, Butte County Cal Fire Chief Darren Read said several hundred buildings, possibly as many as 1,000 or more, were destroyed in Paradise, though they won't have a more exact number until they survey the damage. Another 15,000 remained threatened in the area, according to CalFire.

"The whole town’s on fire," Paradise councilman Scott Lotter, who evacuated with his family, told the Sacramento Bee earlier Thursday. "It’s pretty grim."

Add my hopes to everyone else's that Gracie is OK.

This is what I saw when I went out to the living room this morning:

The damn Boxer chewed through the bottom of his bed and spread the stuffing all over.

I'm so sorry. Animals are brave defenders of our homes, but they have their little flaws. Once he figures out that is irritating to you he won't do it after that day.

That's the thing. They had so very little as it was and it is likely they lost all or most of what they had.

If only! The dog has been chewing on his bed, and just about anything else he can get to, since he got here. This was just a particularly egregious example. Believe me, it should be pretty clear that I don't want him doing it; he gets told he's bad every time I catch him doing that sort of thing, but he doesn't much care.
