@daddog glad you dodged that bullet !
may I ask what started the fire ?

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.

what possible intellectual discourse could there be relative to Qanon ? other than the clinical diagnosis of insanity ?Exactly. It all started out as a goof, to see how gullible and ignorant some can be. https://news.artnet.com/opinion/q-anon-hoax-1329983 It took on a life of it's own and now we have right wing members of congress who are avowed Qanon believers, posing with firearms and already threatening other members of congress (most likely a stunt on their behalf to capitalize on the growing number of ditto heads as a base). All the best, Nonoise |
Thank you Tomic601. I feel very fortunate. We do not know what started the fire, only that we had been having wicked east winds (45mph+ and hot and dry) for a couple of days. The canyon behind our property was being logged but I don't believe the loggers had been there for days, at least I did not hear any saws running earlier. There are not even any residences nearby. But I could guess; dry lighting. Like in California where I read that they had 15,000 strikes in the last month (or something, assuming I got my facts right). It's nutty. |
