I try not to dwell on these thoughts.<br /><br />And fortunately it was not my neighbors who lost their homes. It was others who were in the middle of all of it. Everyone in the county has a story to tell. During the fire people stopped shopping and then suddenly everyone was back in the stores again and you heard snippets of fire stories all around you as you passed.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-77652678323631597702017-11-15T20:01:41.548-11:002017-11-15T20:01:41.548-11:00It is strange that this photo will now will foreve...It is strange that this photo will now will forever be, for me, associated with such a massive fire.

Between the nixle alerts and the local radio, I was listening for information all day. And I highly recommend everyone sign up for NIXEL alerts from their local police. They gave constant updates as to where the evacuation lines were. What roads were closed.

This has been such a terrible summer for so many people, I'm relieved that your home was spared. <br /><br />Your lost and found photo story was quite moving, especially as a consequence of so much terror and devastating destruction. Your great-grandmother looks very young yet is dressed, I think, better than just Sunday best. Could it be a wedding photo? Only recently I've discovered that digitally reversing the mirror images of tintypes returns sepia people to a subtly more natural balance of the actual person.
