Think fast: What would you take?

I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires. 
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those. 
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.

Lets agree to disagree MC.
Politics and audio are never a good mix.

Agree to disagree is the normal state of affairs on the right. Its only the intolerant left that feels the need to say this. On the right we say freedom of expression, free speech, etc because we all assume each and every one of us is an individual and free to pursue their own individual interests and ideas- and free to express them as well. Its only on the intolerant left where ideology rules and requires total agreement that virtue signaling double-speak like agree to disagree is used.

People make this claim all the time. Often what is meant is you are free to agree with me but not otherwise.

A local very conservative talk show host was lamenting just yesterday that conservatives claim this philosophy but of late in particular it’s too often a false claim.

An example would be the booing of the NFL players in KC the other night during their moment of solidarity.

People of all persuasions who want to be taken seriously need to walk the walk not just talk the talk.

You are so far out to lunch on my political leaning it is not even funny.

I WAS a staunch Republican. Note was.

The present incumbent that is wasting time and space in the White House and his gang of cronies have absolutely NOTHING to do with Republican policy or path any longer.

My main political aim right now is to rid this country of the cancer that has struck at its core with the initials of DT.

And for all the so called Republican members who have sold their souls to hang on his shirt tails and abandon their beliefs, well November 3rd will be the day of reckoning.
A shame we will have to endure at least 4 years of Biden/Harris but well worth it to be rid of that inept meat puppet.

They had their chance in February to make amends but no they just gave him a free pass to do whatever he likes.

Time is up.
