[Oe List ...] Colleagues in CA, WA OR--fires?

[isobeljimbish at optusnet.com.au]

Dear colleagues on the Way,
The Australian colleagues   are  thinking about you as you suffer and grieve over loss of life and property;  with the onslaught of the bush fires on your west coast. 
We understand the horror and pain you are experiencing, coming from our own horrendous past  summer. 
Thinking of you all,
With our  fondest love,
Isobel Bishop

I think most of Oregon is like here in Ashland — everyone who can be is in lockdown and then there are the worst off who’ve been evacuated and are living in their cars in parking lots with no escape at all from the smoke.

The majority of those who’ve lost their homes here in So Oregon are those on the low end of the socioeconomic scale — whole mobile home parks have been razed, the fire is not yet contained, most non-essential businesses are closed, there’s little to know public transport running. On the upside, donations pour in to several locations, the schools and several churches are providing food and shelter, everyone from cellphone companies to massage therapists are showing up and volunteering services to those in need.
