[Mgs] The good, the bad, and the funny

[David Woerpel]

Larry, our hearts and prayers go out to you and all affected by this 
conflagration.  All this on top of COVID, shootings, storms in the Gulf 
(we're with you too folks!).  If I may speak for the list, Be like 
Larry, anticipate, if you can, /Safety Fast/ and First!  God speed.

When Dick and Rochelle Nyquist (who I first met through the SOL list 30 years ago) barely escaped from a fire a few years back, that was a real wake up call. I already had a mental checklist of most of the high priority stuff to pack into my van.  When the van was full, we still hadn't gotten the mandatory evac notice, so I started packing the trailer.  I've been storing Jasmine, my BGT, in the trailer.  I don't have the resources to finish getting her back on the road, and I need the garage for other work.  Unloading the MG from the trailer would have taken more time than I felt I had, so I grabbed the blower, and a couple of other key pieces, put them in the passenger seat and just packed around her.
