At 71 years old, time to start reliving some of my lost youth.
I'll have a generous shot of Jägermeister with a litre of Modelo Negra back... and keep them coming

Re: NYE
Thanks for jumping in, to man the virtual bar, danwho! NYE wouldn't be the same, without Ten-Forward.
For myself, just keep the champagne flowing, please. For AJ, a nice big glass of Guinness.

Some of you will have seen that suburban and urban wildfires, the worst in our state history, occurred in my part of the world yesterday. It's been horrific to watch, and yet like a train wreck, you couldn't not watch. It's more than structures that are lost - it's memories, it's the home nest of those you often know. Because it occurred right over the hill, I was involved directly and indirectly.
I was going to say that yesterday didn't turn out as expected...but it actually did turn out exactly as I thought it might. Fierce winds are not uncommon along this corridor of the world, and the fact that more of this corridor is developed than it was 30 years ago when I bought this property has generally served to provide a bit more buffer from the winds. Except for when the gazebo plexiglass roof flew off towards Kansas (twice!) - those were 100 mph gusts too. I sincerely hope that the counties involved (it's like the Bermuda triangle here: Jefferson, Adams and Boulder) use some infrastructure monies to bury the utilities before they bury us. The winds knocked down the power lines into the native grass = the drought and climate change made the native grasses fine, fine fuel. And the winds pushed the flames faster, and hotter towards suburbia. The first smoke plumes were seen around 10:30 AM yesterday. By 1:30 PM, there were three fires of note and they had traveled something like 10 miles. The winds kept shifting: vectors east, south, then back to west and north. The realization that evacuation might occur struck me about that time, and I began collecting dog food, dog bowls, kitty litterbox, clothes for a couple days, and documents....I tried hard to stay on task, because you just didn't know how much time you really had.
Meanwhile, a little north of here, pre-evac orders went out and then mandatory orders. Traffic jams of 1.5 hrs for people trying to go a single mile were occurring. I looked at the hillside, calculating just how much time I would actually have if that fire crested the hill...and I got in the truck and left for a very understanding friend's house...one who would let me bring 2 big dogs and a cat. It was 5 PM. The official pre-evac notice came at 5:30 PM, followed by mandatory evacuation at 9 PM. The fires were well covered by the local stations, and I watched my favorite golf course burn. Golf friends were accomodating other golf friends at a moment's notice - and their pets. Through the evening and night, my mantra was "it will be what it will be." I wondered if I had seen my house for the last time. That was a sobering kind of thought.
Mandatory evacuation supposedly ended around midnight here for this subdivision - I was reasonably confident that given that I could access the doorbell camera and interior ones, that I had power and the house was still standing. Specifics as to this burned, this didn't weren't super forthcoming particularly when flames were still flanking on the west side. You kind of want to see your reality with your own eyes - and I did, finally, around 11 AM today.
I learned that I do need a list for what should be in my "GO bag" or "GO documents file" - and if you don't have one of these lists, I encourage you to make one also. I had a couple of hours to prepare - and some of the people in Louisville and Superior had a minute or two - just enough time to grab kids and pets and hit the road. I had time to photograph all the rooms, and most of the contents of drawers, etc. Something better done when you'r emotions aren't all over the place. And so it is that among my THINGS TO DO IN 22 ...this preparation step will be there. I like to be prepared - you have so many more options then! And I am so grateful for good friends.

Lots of chickadees (those are pictured), dark eyed juncos, finches, and robins this AM ...it's 4F, and probably 6 inches of snow to start the New Year! I know - snow is a day late to help with the fires, but that's how the snow pattern works...we get big winds, and then the snow moves in.
