Thank you for your concerns and suggestions. We are doing reasonably well and feeling rather fortunate. We ended up having to stay at a staging area about a quarter mile from our house for well over an hour before a road opened up long enough to make good our escape. We were fortunate in owning a vacant rental outside the fire area (the renters purchased their own place two months earlier) and being among the minority in the area with adequate insurance. Once I got my wife on the road with her service dog and two cats, the first thing into my car was my gig bag followed by a Buffet A clarinet which I was in the process of overhauling for my brother, and then the rest of my clarinets (most of my clarinet tools live in a kit in my gig bag -- more than once they have come in handy at a concert, though not for my own instrument). For those who have not experienced a catastrophic event it may seem a little strange. However, it can often be small things that are of major importance in keeping track of which direction is up. Knowing that there are "friends" here who care, knowing that the new bottle of The Doctor's key oil will be easy to replace, looking forward to rehearsal night, etc. Thanks for being here.

Bart
