Daddog, glad you are safe. To all my fellow Oregonians, I hope we all make it through, and that the rains come a day early. I try to remind myself that apart from climate change etc, we have more forest fires out west because we are still blessed to have more forests. Most of the country can’t say that anymore. 5 billion trees here before it started. After the million acres in flames we will have fewer. Be safe.
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.
