Onderwerp: [Mgs] The good, the bad, and the funny
The good news is that it looks like my house in Felton, in the Santa Cruz
mountains will be spared from the fire.
The bad news: My friend Pete who races the ZomBee MGB in LeMons wrote a
heartbreaking story about nearly saving his house, and just barely escaping.
The funny: We started packing when we went on evacuation warning, we didn't
wait until mandatory evacuation. When Dick and Rochelle Nyquist (who I first
met through the SOL list 30 years ago) barely escaped from a fire a few
years back, that was a real wake up call. I already had a mental checklist
of most of the high priority stuff to pack into my van. When the van was
full, we still hadn't gotten the mandatory evac notice, so I started packing
the trailer. I've been storing Jasmine, my BGT, in the trailer. I don't
have the resources to finish getting her back on the road, and I need the
garage for other work. Unloading the MG from the trailer would have taken
more time than I felt I had, so I grabbed the blower, and a couple of other
key pieces, put them in the passenger seat and just packed around her.
A friend in Santa Cruz is letting me store the car at his place, so now I
even have room in the trailer and have cleared out most of the stuff from
our other cars.
