"Tired Work Boots: A Sign of the New Year"

We bought the town center of a small town in Northern California. I like to say that, but really the dying town is so small it only has two buildings zoned "Town Center". We bought the bigger one.

A serious revitalization project.

After a week of cleaning & dump runs the raw outline of this lifetime project is starting to show itself.

“Possibilities: A Sunrise in January”

The whole town should have burned down this past July. We should have been  leveled. The whole damn thing--river and highway and all. 

A city slicker (from what I hear), came to town for the fourth of July weekend. He thought it would be a good idea to start a trash fire. I suppose, if you’re from the big city, you might see our lawns filled with scrap metal and recycling and imagine you are helping, “cleaning up,” you may have called it.

An ode to misplaced good intentions. 

Within fifteen minutes the entirety of the old wooden barn on the property next door had gone up in flames. The fire headed toward the gas station--the lifeblood of the small highway town--where the local firefighters were staging their attack.

It looked like a war zone.

It took a few hours for the fire to scoot around town and jump over the highway--a rare feat for forest fires.The long dry grass from erratic rainfalls, helped the fire lick the bottom branches of the dry summer oaks, and those branches set trees ablaze, sending flames higher than a skyscraper.

The flame made a familiar orange glow on the horizon. We watched from and elementary school parking lot as the police rooted themselves in all the roads that led home.

The fire burned north on the other side of the highway. There was no way, they thought, the fire would jump again--just no way--but they were wrong. It jumped again, and headed back towards town, this time coming from the north.

This building shouldn’t be here.

We shouldn’t be here.

Yet, here we are.

Watching a sunrise in January.

HORNBROOK, Calif |1 person dies in wildfire near California-Oregon border

HORNBROOK, Calif. — A wildfire burning through drought-stricken timber and brush near California’s border with Oregon has killed one person and destroyed multiple structures as it grows largely out of control, authorities said Friday.

The person died in the blaze that started Thursday in Siskiyou County. But no other details were released because next of kin have not been notified, said Suzi Brady, a spokeswoman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The blaze is threatening 300 homes near Hornbook, California, a town of 250 people about 14 miles (22 kilometers) south of the Oregon border.

It has burned more than 12 square miles (30 square kilometers) and is 5 percent contained.

The fire is being fueled by hot weather and extreme winds, conditions that are expected throughout the weekend, Brady said. “The fire jumped a major highway yesterday, and it’s burning on both sides and is being fueled by extremely erratic winds,” she said.

Multiple structures are threatened, damaged or destroyed, Brady said.

California Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency, citing “extreme peril” to people and property.

Farther north in Oregon, authorities urged hikers and other outdoors enthusiasts to avoid forested areas near the Oregon-California border, where a blaze has killed one person.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said Friday that although the blaze has not crossed into Oregon, officials are concerned people in remote areas could be unreachable in case they need to quickly evacuate.

The areas of concern include the Pacific Crest Trail, Mount Ashland and the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument.

Search and rescue crews may be prohibited from engaging in search missions because of fire danger, the office said.
