1. Thursday's news from the Gold Run Fire between Big Creek and Elizabeth Park was good.
Most, not all, evacuated residents of Big Creek and Elizabeth Park could return home.
The fire did not grow, at least not significantly.
Firefighters completed a fire line around the entire perimeter of the fire.
It's about 20-22% contained.
Crews continue the hard work of securing and strengthening fire lines and monitoring hot spots.
2. If some time in the future, law enforcement orders us to evacuate our home, I'll already have in the trunk a first aid kit, blankets, pillows, dried fruit, granola bars, almonds, and bottled water. Today I ordered a portable litter pan for Copper, food for Gibbs, bathroom stuff beyond what we use every day, an extra flashlight, and a few other things that we'll also keep in the trunk.
I'm going to strategically place in the house other things like three days' worth of clothes, electronics, cords, portable phone charger, and important documents, making it so we can put our hands on them immediately if we need to make a quick exit.
3. Having decided to fix myself salads not using lettuce, I gave Carol and Paul a head of lettuce thinking their rabbit Bunz would enjoy it, but Bunz might share with Carol and Paul.
I made a rotini salad today that included black beans along with fresh vegetables. I dressed the salad with basil pesto, a new thing for me, and, oh yes, it worked.
