https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/883mxYxaLLfM Not sure if this video of the fire drop is going to work. Let me know.

That's the back of my Mom's trailer.

My second Cousin just got her and her husband. No time to hook up the trailer. The fire is too close. The trailer is insured anyway. Everyone is being evacuated to the towns civic center. But my Cousin is headed down to get them and take them to her second house 10 miles away. Crazy shit!

I've posted recently about my blind Mother's motorhome repossession with 2 days notice. Her health struggles. And the very recent understanding that she can't do it on her own anymore. So my Brother and his wife are due to arrive Sunday. They'll most likely be on the road to AZ Tuesday morning. 30 minutes ago I got a call from my sainted Cousin Rene. As it happens she just heard on the radio that there's a large brush fire, and it's headed straight for my Mother's RV park, and her newly purchased trailer (scheduled to go to storage Monday). Thankfully she immediately called her son ( my 2nd Cousin) and he is on his way with his truck and ball hitch, to get my Mother and that trailer out of harms way. She called my Mom, asked her if anyone had knocked on their door to inform them? She said that they just did, but she didn't know what she was going to do. Rene told her that Jr. and 3 friends are on their way and 10 minutes out. How much is this elderly woman going to have to endure before getting the hell out of there? Again, thank God for my Cousin! This has to be a sign that leaving is the right thing!

Have an awesome day!

He is absolutely dangerous. He's talking to the Russians and has too much military knowledge of Ukraine's details.

Are you shitting me? Obviously not married.

Sorry Brent. R.I.P. Jimmy.

^ What's the worst that could happen?

As do I, but respect.

Que Brent... 1...2...3...

^ For when you need to hear those 10 hz. pipe organs. Even though the human ear can't hear that low.

I don't know? They'd have to be extremely deep pockets to fit all that gear. Doesn't look very portable to me.

My Brother and his wife have already set up her room with a new mattress and everything she'll want or need. He also had his Daughter set up a system to stream audio books for her. She can still read if she enlarges the font on her Kindle, but her eyes are deteriorating and won't improve. She's never had much interest in TV, but has always been a voracious reader. She hasn't been able to see well enough to safely cook for sometime now, so home cooked meals will be fully enjoyed by her. Just a great and happy situation for a Mother that would always step in front of my physically abusive Father, when he went way too far on his boys. She deserves this and way, way more. Even if she doesn't want to burden her children. And I fully believe that a situation that will promote better mental health can only have a positive effect on her physical health. Her Doctor thinks she has a matter of months left. That may or may not be true, but whatever time she has left absolutely needs to be happy time.

Recent update. My Mother has been in and out of the hospital lately because of her APhib, which also sets off her COPD. My Brother and I have been trying hard to get her to go live with him and his wife. They have room and time, since they're both retired now. His wife loves my Mom and has been trying to talk her down that path. My Mother can be stubborn, and is hell bent on paying off the portion she financed on her recent trailer purchase. My Aunt (who lives nearby) has offered to store the trailer on her property. So finally my Mother has realized that life would not only be easier, but more enjoyable. Her husband has become verbally unkind. He's just turned into an irresponsible, grumpy old man. I believe he is at the begging stages of dementia. So my Brother and his wife are driving from Arizona to Texas to get her on the 17th. She won't go before that, because her husband's only Daughter (who he's never had much interaction with) can't get there until the 16th to take him back to Alaska to live with her, because of an already scheduled vacation. She's a really wonderful person, and I've filled her in on what to expect. She says she feels obligated, even though he's basically ignored her from age 5. My Mother says that she'll tripple up her trailer payments, since she'll no longer have any bills to speak of. She wants to gift the trailer to me, once it's payed off. So I'll pick it up and use it upon retirement in a little over 4 years. I'm thrilled that she will be in a house filled with love for whatever time she has left. And she'll only be seven hours away for weekend visits.

Happy Birthday Jpelg!

Oh, I just thought you were showing a picture of Doug's house on a slow cat day.

I got about $800 off of my S22 Ultra.

Oh, excuse me. I just always naturally assume that most people realize Samsung products are superior in every way. 🙂

I have some Samsung Bluetooth buds by AKG. They're pretty good, but I still almost always reach for my Astell & Kerns Billie Jean IEMs by Jerry Harvey. The detail is just better, and I don't mind the wires at all. More comfortable too.

That was my drag name.

B.C. yes. Washington, not so much.

Actually it's Candy Bench, but close enough.

Colin must be hiding there somewhere.
