For all of my admittedly few followers that I have here, just an update as to where I'm at in life. We're fine, pictured is a before and after of my home in Magalia, California, just above Paradise, my hometown, the place I grew up, which was unfortunately entirely destroyed in the CampFire. Almost everyone I know is now jobless and homeless. My family and I are safe, we are staying out of town now with extended family. We didn't save much since we had to evacuate so quickly. We plan on eventually rebuilding and staying in the community despite the destruction. On the right of both photos you can see a Christmas ornament on a small tree, when we moved to magalia, one of the first things we did was put that ornament in that tree. At the time, it was just a sapling, and the ornament made the entire thing bend like in Charlie Brown Christmas. The point I'm making I guess is, when you've lost everything, the memories remain. Everything that happens will have always happened, and you have to cherish the things that make you smile. Thanks for reading about my personal stuff folks. Hope everyone out there who were also affected by these fires are okay, stay strong.
