Well Marsha,

It's an interesting story.  I spent the day helping Lu pack up and move out.
 It's a strange sensation.  She and the girls had just left, and I sat down
to have the computer and my own thoughts to myself since the weekend
started.

As I was sitting there, thinking.  I started to realize that I'd been
hearing planes.  Planes loud, frequent and low.  I went out and saw
billowing smoke, just over the ridge and upwind.  And lots of smoke in the
air.

My heart started beating faster.  I walked up to the house and considered
all that was packed in the car, my wife and girls already gone, my most
important stuff all packed,  what else?  What else should I pack before
leaving it all behind?

As it turned out, they hit that fire so fast and so hard, that it never had
much of a chance at all.  It's an hour later and the smoke has all cleared
from the air.  The emergency gone, the urgency muted.  But an after-taste of
the memory of freedom. Freedom from stuff, the beckoning call of nothing.
 But for now, put off.

Till the next time,

John
