What would you save in a fire?

I was thinking about this as I have family and friends already evacuated, lost cherished Olympic gold medals and everything they called a home. Can't wait for this nightmare to end.

I wonder if you could put things in a water proof bag and put them in your swimming pool, would they be safe? (I don’t have a pool, nor would I want to, but this would be one function)

(But to be serious, we will hopefully learn from this and stop hiring women to be firefighters who sleep with other woman who steal so much water there is none left for the hydrant. That’s what the smart people say out there. Also raking…)

@artemus_5 I can't ever write stuff silly enough to be not taken seriously

@thecarpathian Thank you, I take it as a compliment. 

I joined a new project and team 2 years ago with about 30 people, all from a small-ish town in Michigan. I'd make jokes all the time, in chats, in person, big meetings and small and 9 out of 10 times I still get frozen faces and/or polite "what you do mean"s. A few of them now get it (they don't laugh) and blush for me, they understand it's incurable.  

I am sorry 

@immatthewj you are worse than I am (if that's possible). 

The ignorance here about California’s water management is wild but not surprising 

sounds good Mr @dekay  and please evacuate the weirdo, 

@immatthewj and @thecarpathian you can really tell I miserably failed when you have to explain it  - because that's how jokes and irony work 

comments like yours are followed by an /s

I am not on reddit and I find it hilarious. I am really a moron when I think I can communicate anything/most thoughts

well @dekay if you do have to evacuate, my house is open a 100 miles south. (that would be in the Ocean, so southeast, to be accurate).

My daughter lives by Pico-Robertson, so maybe I should be worried about her too. I imagine that being a few miles from the hills is enough of a buffer. 

when this stuff is politicized and the blame game takes center stage (instead of figuring out solutions and helping people in need) my default escape is humor - whatever form of it

 @p05129 you accomplished the most amount of nonsense with the fewest characters. And we agree that it was good for you and for us that you left CA
