Sheila it's good to get it out of your system now and then, the nice part is none of us can reach the other and do physical harm.
Living in the Pacific North west isn't all sunshine and lolly pops either. Just a few summers ago visibility in my little valley was about 300 ft from smoke and we were at 30 minutes of warning to evacuate from one of the largest forest fires you'rve ever seen it was the largest in the country that year, it was about 2 miles to the fire line from our house. It was called the Biscuit Fire, and could probably find it in a simple search if you want to look it up. There is so much timber in this part of the world and it gets really dry in the summer. Every time they say thunder storms my antenna go up. I've lost everything to a fire in the past, and you never felt so helpless watching it burn!
Pray for rain for our extended family of FRIENDS!
