Hi Ed,
I’ve been thinking about you! I have other friends who live in Auburn, Grass Valley and Placerville. It’s not a good situation and this is only the beginning of August. Last years fires produced smoke that chocked out the Bay Area. My yard was covered in ash as the fires raged over two hours away. The smoke was so thick it appeared to be late dusk all day long. We were told to shelter in place because of the poor air quality It really seemed like the apocalypse!
I put up my friend from Pt. Reyes Station who was under evacuation orders twice in one month. She stayed in an in-law apartment above my garage. If you have to evacuate, the same apartment is open for you and your wife at a moment’s notice. We all have to stick together.
On a brighter note, I just returned from Sonoma today where I saw my dad and celebrated his 101st birthday!
Len.
