Good news..

Got a note from the wife's sister that their house is still standing. While they haven't made it back, it'll take time to get all the smoke out of the place.

Bad news is the places we remember from going there the places across the river were destroyed by the fire. The old store and fire district are gone. Wife mentioned that she and her siblings used to go there for treats as kids and the store had a pet monkey.

Guess life does move on.

When life goes on, the news is always good, Fred...:cheer:...Ben

Great news!
