We have close relatives who are evacuated now and do not know whether they still have a house standing.Its very bad scene now as the fires move around with the big winds.

Be safe! Hope all is not lost.

I have seen the photo on TV they are devastating, people are digging through ashes and then the poor wineries. Kansas had fires like this earlier this summer, killing thousands of livestock animals. It was caused by drought and poor management of land. We have a invasive cedar tree here that needs to be kept cleared off the land. They fill the property in no time and go up like roman candle fireworks when they catch on fire. They are trying to get landowners to clear them, I haven't seen any of that happening. Denice

My thoughts are with all those affected by these fires.
I couldn't believe how quickly the fires took hold. They seemed to come out of nowhere, but of course this could just be because the news didn't initially cover it.

Get some rest before driving out!

Busy time for us-we are 30 days out on escrow on wifes house sale-just signed in new renters today. I am taking a large wholesale order on trip to drop off in Santa Barbara as my nephew is getting married on beach weekend after art show so I'm staying south-my wife flys down next week to SB for wedding and we return via medical appointment in SF on way home.
I will get rested in next few days while packing up. As you know sleep is harder when you are older.I'm making the drive south to Boulder City over parts of 3 days so the longest day will be only about 9 hours drive..
I'm done making work and last kiln is cooling for two days.
I plan on swimming in the ocean for 4 days while visiting my sister in Summerland near SB.
-
Should be fun, and I am sure that four days of soaking in the ocean will do you good. . .like a fish back in water. I am trying to fill a bisque load, 25# pickling crock, 20# pickling crock, bunch of mugs, apple bakers, and batter bowls. Going to try working with the 630 on some teapots before the weather freezes me out of the shop. Also have to finish up next Springs Communion set orders.
best,

we drove down from Red Lodge 180 miles. Had 2 minutes of totality and not much in the way of traffic.
looking forward to your photos. I used a digital camera for a totality shot.

Viewed eclipse at local living History Farm Museum.I set up a small display

.....helped in their gift shop, and sold a few things.Viewed the eclipse until the last sliver of the moon cleared the sun. Many hit the road after totality creating bumper to bumper congestion.
