musings of mark since 2001

   The Kelowna fire is far from out, but at least about 10,000 people got to go home. About 250 of them had no home left to go to, and there is still over 19,000 people on evacuation staying in hotels and friends homes. My parents in Rutland are still on alert, they haven’t had to leave yet but things change quickly in a forest fire where the weather is helping a little but not nearly enough. Winds predicted at 20kph will clear a bit of the smoke out of the valleys and help the water bombers and helicopters see where they are going. Any more of a breeze though, and the fire will start spreading again and as far as rain there is nothing in sight.
   Heads up for Dad, there’s a care/birthday package making it’s way through the postal system and some socks that Margaret left at the B n’ B are in there too.
