The end of a stifling, choking 2 weeks of the Camp Fire with our cars all gassed up but not really believing what was happening and all the animals, including the hawk, stuffed into our little house slowly going nuts. But suddenly it rained and washed the toxic ash of everything and Tessy got to go outside and breathe and we all got to go outside and feel the air and wind. But no sunshine so we're all little pale, shaky and anaemic looking. Just glad that it's over with. Still listen to al the updates because we just can't believe what happened. There are campers and caravans and trailers and RVs all around town making it even creepier than it normally is. We're so lucky and grateful that the lines held because we were the first neighborhood to go if they were to start evacuating Oroville. Some people down the road started a collection center in their front yard to drop off clothing and stuff. We didn't have much but we dropped off some stuff.

Our citrus trees are fruiting insanely - like OV on a Thursday night behind the Taco Bell over on 3rd street next to the Senior Center - I wish we could share the bounty with people. We'll have  a hundred pounds or more of fruit to share. I'll post some pics if I can remember how to. That's all we have to give. It's ironic to give a big box of lemons to people who just lost everything. They probably don't feel like making lemonade. I'm going to have to get a power squeezer. For the citrus. To make juice. 

Anywho, just glad its over. For us, anyway. I did design a fund raising t-shirt and posted it all over the local facebook groups but nobody bought any. I'm still a shit designer.  I just can't imagine the scale of the catastrophe - it still freaks me out. Millions of tons of toxic waste. One 13,000 homesteads burned down. That's so many people, I can't imagine it. 

If you want to donate, go to the tri counties bank and use their GoFundMe because every dollar will go to the victims. It's the best place place to donate.

To have an occasion to use my mother’s china, silver and various serving dishes. Don’t get much call for a “lemon dish” and “lemon fork” ’round these parts!

Whatever grief longing for him brings
Whatever blood Love mixes in his wine
Be grateful; there's one worse fate –
Never seeing him once.

Tomorrow, a long weekend in Seattle just for grins.

A couple of weeks later, my first time at French Laundry, to celebrate my 60th.

In addition I am grateful for the "windshield cover" (AKA a plastic sheet with only one magnet still attached) that Daddy gave me so many years ago. I'm grateful for the idea of putting old socks on my rear view mirrors. Yes, it was very frosty this morning, why do you ask?
 
What makes me smile: 
the image of Antigone's car in the lot with socks on the mirrors looking like a large basset hound.

I am grateful that as a student in elementary and high schools, I grew so quickly, was so uncoordinated and geeky that there was zero chance of me making the football or hockey team.   I was a horrible basketball player.

Today, I can hike mountains, wade rivers , canoe and do all kinds of things.  The star jocks from high school and university are rarely so lucky dealing with bad shoulders, arms, backs, useless knees, serious weight issues, etc.

As it turned out, there was a nice silver lining to being a 196 cm tall nerd.     Did not understand that until I got into my twenties and started meeting all the wounded jock warriors.
