Texas Fires

Well so far me and mine are still ok, but we are surrounded by big fires. The closest ones have been less than three miles away, and I have added around 50 miles to my daily commute to work to dodge big fires and smoke zones.

GOB,
Have you got travel packs all set to go? I am seeing folks on TV with no time to do anything but Ship and Get. You got the family set to go if need be, while you are at work? I hate a forest fire. It is so unpredictable.

Thank goodness we just got some rain here from Lee. Maybe this little storm will come up out of the gulf and drop some rain on you, you need it for sure.

Best of luck and watch your 6.
Ed

We appreciate it we can use all the prayers we can get. It seems like they get one under control and two or three more pop up.
