What would you save in a fire?


Had the unpleasant experience of the Palisades fire nearly burning my house down. As in, I left driving through a firestorm and when I returned all except the actual structure was blackened. I then had to choose what to take with me before fire makes it way back the other side of the hill (which it’s doing now) and stuff my car. I was able to take about 300 out of 10k records, 2 turntables (one that is 250 lbs and almost gave me a hernia), my DAC, 2 phonostages… but had to leave my Aleph 1.2 monoblocks and speakers. Although I did also save 4 TAD woofers, 2 compression drivers, 2 horns and tweeters. I left everything else, spare a shirt and underwear.

I know it sounds materialistic or petty, but the music means everything to me. My wife saved 20 pairs of shoes haha. My question for you is… if you had to choose quickly, what would you save? Would your system make the cut?

Now, @dekay takes a different approach. It's an off the wall, low key humor that relies on visual imagination as he spins a clever yarn.

@aewarren , was it truly that difficult to read this

(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…)

and deduce that the author was not being at all serious? Even with the "to be serious" preface? I am only asking because I am actually curious.

Ok, so if I had answered the OP's question of "What would I save" with "Your wife's shoes", you would all recognize it as just my attempt at sarcastic wit? I merely thought that a serious question deserved a serious response. Sorry if I was wrong.
