Post Haste
Not dead. And we remain happily uncrisped by the Day Fire which crested the hills over town at one eerie point.
Fire: bad, scary, dangerous, expensive, rotten and awful.
Sweaty, be-grimed firemen heroes running about all over town in a manly way, with their hoses: priceless. Also, delicious.
I haven’t posted for a wee bit because I’ve been having too much fun over at various blogchums’ sites at the expense of posting here. Take a look at my Chums bit at the side sometime and visit some of their splendid selves, yourself! You’ll have fun. I know it, or I’ll eat my own username and, what’s more… I’ll eat my password too!
Back with something postier in the next few days.

Did the firemen know you were eying their hoses, dear?
Cheers.

Glad to hear you’re safe missus. I must return now to cursing and glaring at the project I’m working/not working on.

It must be a bit scary. The only good thing may be that it gets rid of the ticks or a meringue?
As long as you’re visiting that’s OK.

Hello you three. To be honest, I’m talking our actual danger up a bit, for drama’s sake. Upper Ojai had to be evacuated but we down in the lower valley were never really in serious danger. They had 4000 firefighters who really know their stuff on the case and property damage is their primary concern so a number of houses and a school in the East end of town had already been sprayed with retardant. We all have to comply with brush clearing ordinances around our houses way before fire-season starts too. The ash falling everywhere and the air being thick with smoke was the main thing for us, which isn’t really so bad when you think of the Arizona fires of a couple years ago. Hold up, I’ll see if I can find a picture…
Ran’, I think they may have guessed.

Poor excuse for not posting. I think we all spend too much time reading (well, maybe not too much, perhaps not enough, or, OK, too much)

Hey there, remember me? Have you gotten any of my recent emails? Lemme know if you haven’t.

Joe, I know I’m more of a reader than a poster some weeks. Some weeks I’m hardly even a postcard. Hahahahaha.
Right. I’ll get my coat… Hey, wait up! This is my gaffe! I’m just so used to having to get my coat, see.
Gordon, yes I did get your email. I’m sorry, I just hadn’t got around to replying yet. My bad. Are you still keen on doing the revamp, then?

Glad you and yours are safe. Fire must be so scary, I’ve experienced floods and that was bad enough.

This is why it’s important to have a concise password. Mine is I.O.U.
