Better drink several...

Seriously though, fire is scary ****. We have had a few close calls, with the worst being a big fire about 1/4 mile away from the house. In OK we get wind fueled grass fires. Its coming into the time of year that we keep hoses strung out, and the brush beat down.

She moved as well. The owner was moving back in. He's so upside down on the house, I'm betting he's doing a backfire for the insurance.....

BTW, the 7 Eleven on Eastlake is still open and answering the phone.

go call your Fire Dept. and ask about "defensible zones" - in rural areas here, they will come out for free and do an inspection

also, those long, narrow curved driveways mean they cannot get the trucks to your house
