All indications are that Mt. Hood packed up his/her bags and
moved to the coast. The state of Oregon will be issuing new maps as soon as Mt.
Hood is found again.
All joking aside, my heart goes out to the many people
directly affected by fires in the northwest, and let’s omit the smoke-whiners.
The entirety of Okanogan County, Washington is on evacuation alert. A building
burned in downtown Pateros, Brewster High School is being used as a shelter for
evacuees. At one time or another, the towns of Malott, Riverside, Twisp,
Conconully, Winthrop, Tonasket, parts of Okanogan and other towns have been
evacuated, and some still are. Omak and Okanogan have fires to the east, west
and north of town.
And a hats off to the brave men and women who are fighting
the fires. And an open heart for those who have lost their homes. And a moment
of silence for those who have died.
