Think fast: What would you take?


I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
Pandemics, riots, rain, no rain, economic turmoil, comets...
Now we have devastating fires. 
One of my audio buddies is waiting in an evacuation center, awaiting the horrible news that he's lost his home. A couple others are at level 2 ready to abandon their homes. These guys are the best audiophile guys you could ever hope to have around. You probably know them.
With light rain in the forecast (Monday), I feel fairly safe.
But, I have collected one small suit case, just in case. My car will be loaded with camping gear. A photo album. Maybe a friend or 2.
Of the items in my listening room, I know I can't take any equipment. Maybe a couple Lps? No, I could replace those. 
So, I ask you: What would you take?
Hopefully, you'll never be in such a situation.

I didnt come to his defense I simply wanted to point out what I consider to be some of the indisputable realities of late. Had someone posted a rant against the far right would you have chimed in? This was my point. I will take you at your word. 
hilde45 is completely correct. 

anotherbob,
Thank you for what you have done to help the citizens. I think your opinion on some of these issues perhaps could be the most pertinent as you have first hand experience. 

 
Its not just happening here but all over the nation. No discourse encouraged nor tolerated by many. 

Jond I wouldnt suspect you would want to have this discussion. 





I am not sure that what miller is saying is entirely political but more a commentary on the state of affairs in our country and those most responsible for this condition. For the record I am not a liberal and in fact far from it, but to suggest that the rhetoric coming from the other side of the aisle doesnt fuel the fire is absurd. 


I have a friend that lives in West Linn and he is just furious and has been for some time. I do feel sorry for much of what you are going through but not the social unrest. I may not agree with miller on some things audio but he raises some good points regarding some of your avoidable problems. I just scratch my head and wonder how things came to evolve in such a way. Shame on your elected officials!


jond,
Fine but just making certain that you would have reported any post mentioning politics from any perspective. Not so sure that others on this forum would be consistent in this regard. Cue the mention of Qanon... not helping.

Had the OP not mentioned riots in the same sentence as natural events I doubt miller would have posted a response. 

Terms like "dreck" are simply used to denote verbage of which the user of this term disagrees. Look back at both of our responses to the OP and tell me who was the first to insult and the first to get emotional.
