Oh My, My. . .

In the midst of forest fire territory here...yikers - eerie and very frightening.  We left upon the notice of evacuation alert.  We were not taking any chances.  We arrived home some 10 or 11 days later, hoping all would be well.  Lordy, we could not stay from home without the provisions needed.  The fires are no where near being in control - Beautiful British Columbia is burning up.  However, I am staying put, at home, until a full evacuation order is in place.  

I thank the fire fighters, the support system in place, the emergency response, and the list goes on.

In the meantime, I will go out and try to get a breath of fresh air...near impossible, but I will see how badly my eyes will burn this evening.  

Take care - all the best - everyone.

John Prine/Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)

I will be wearing this little gem when I travel to Haida Gwaii/Queen Charlotte Islands.

I truly hope I do not have to reply to ---John Who --- but eh, who knows.

I rearranged some words to the tune of Milwaukee Here I Come / John Prine.

I'm gonna get in that blue ranger and I'm gonna drive
Down from the mountain side to Haida Gwaii
It's gonna be one heck of a trip - oh golly gee
Haida Gwaii here I come from Deka Lake, B.C.
