Thank you Sheik. My Wife, and I are doing just fine. Very considerate of you to think of us. We are safely out of reach of the fires. There are several bad fires burning here in Colorado. The most recent in the Colorado Springs area. A 60 mile an hour wind created a firestorm that destroyed many homes. I have a good friend that lost everything in the Fort Collins fire a week ago. Fortunately they almost have the Fort Collins High Park fire under control. We had some good rain today. The monsoons have started early this year. Let's hope they keep coming.Originally Posted by Sheik Yerbooty link=topic=10449.msg115413#msg115413 date=1340852713
These firefighters are an amazing breed. They have saved so many homes, and lives by putting the necks on the line. God bless them.

Glad to hear you are safe Jack.
Glad you're good, Jack.
You are absolutely right about the firefighters. I don't know anyone who's experienced a huge wildfire who doesn't help them Fill the Boot when they have their charity drives. Their dedication and fearless nature is something for all of us to admire.
