So far so good. At 830 pm it was at 40 percent contained. Our neighbor has gone for more fuel for the generator. I hope the infrastructure is not damaged and the power can be turned back on soon.

Just in a holding pattern.

That was yesterday when we went to the spaghetti social at our main Lutheran church. 😉  
Signed up to double tomorrow. May not be around much after the opening shots.

**Butters** – best wishes and everything else your way. Fire just frightens the Hades out of me so I would bug fast but play it as you see best. And anything else you need just give a shout here; we’re a creative bunch.  
And I won’t even pick on you for beating me to the top of the page.
