Shit. Hope there continue to be no lost lives. I went through both Ash Wednesday disasters in the early 80s; half my school mates lost their homes each time. I've always been fortunate in that our house never went up, but there have been a few close calls, including being caught in the car between two fire fronts, the scariest thing I've ever experienced.
I've got my fingers crossed for all of you near the fires; here's hoping they get brought under control soon.
Why treat life as a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in an attractive & well-preserved body? Get there by skidding in sideways, a glass of wine in one hand, chocolate in the other, body totally worn out, screaming WOOHOO! What a ride!
