THE WEST IS ON FIRE

We left on our five week east coast tour and basically saw few, if any, fires.

Coming back, it was a whole new story.  It seemed like every place we turned, it was on fire.

I think this just comes with the territory of living in the west with this drought that John Koyle talked of.  I think it will worsen into next year.  Bishop Koyle said the fifth year of the drought it would be particularly acute.

We will see how this all pans out:

It is good to have an evacuation plan for a major wildfire should it ever strike close to home.  There are protection of homes, animals, etc that need to be considered.
