Well, this is interesting. We are eight days away from moving. Our notices are given. I've switched my job to part time. All the best plans a man can make.
And now we have a fire. It's about four miles away, out of control...and moving towards the compound. All the fire has to do is jump the canyon and flash, burn...our little homestead is toasted.
We watch the reports with fear. Here is a report on the fire. Our place is just across the canyon from Paradise...and many houses have burned there.
So what to do? We went out to dinner. Took the girls with us. And Joni and I decided that even if the place does burn, that we will move up anyway...
Wish us luck...

An ongoing journal of building an "off-the-grid" solar homestead, life, boring tedious stuff, knee-jerk eco-socialist opinion, work (as little as possible) and family---from the edge of the wilderness (where the Sierra meets the Cascades).
