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.

I’d take my memories. 

And once I’m resettled, I’d put some thought into why the fires are happening, how my lifestyle may be contributing, and make some course corrections. 

At the end of the day, our audio hobby is just stuff. In the meantime, the ecosystem is withering. Audio is of little use if the planet’s ability to support human life and the rationality of our political discourse has deteriorated to the point where breathing itself has become an existentially political question.

Its called arson. They caught one here near Seattle in the act, and another one outside Portland. The Oregon man was caught, arrested, and then released without bail. Because, democrats. Then the same guy was caught starting 6 more fires later the same day. Molotov cocktail in hand.  

The reason the Portland riots haven't been in the news is the most violent paid insurrectionists moved to the rural areas of Oregon and California where they started the fires. 

If you want to look into how your lifestyle contributes simply ask yourself if you vote democrat. If so you have the perfect opportunity to make amends coming up in November.

I think mc is getting crazier (if that’s possible) the more the polls show his idol and enablers will soon be pleading to charges after the election.

He’s not going to stop.

All the best,

Good luck to you and your family. I hope the losses are minimal, if any and good luck to all of those impacted by these terrible fires.
