The Powerhouse Fire

"Livecam, I lived in the bay area for 6 years and know that unsettling sensation caused by the proximity of wildfires to where you live. This photo was taken from my back patio in Greenbrae back in 2005. If you look closely, you can see a…"

At 4:54pm on August 8, 2012, Laurel said…: I was in Thailand and Cambodia last Oct. I would like to go to India next.I have been lucky. I have not gotten sick in almost three years. I know our immune systems are low. I have had vaccinations (dead viruses) and have eaten some exotic foods too. I get a small check for disability and so I live mostly on my savings so I cannot go that often. Are you back to work? Do you fly? Looks like you were at the controls.

Very pretty here too. I loved your comment...one foot in the grave now both feet on the ground. I may use that. HA!HA!
