I sat down this morning to send a note to friends in Kelowna; and then I thought of others in Kamloops, Vernon, Loon Lake, Creston, Grand Forks, Salmon Arm, Merritt, and other places surrounded by or in the path of these outrageous and out of control forest fires in B.C. We are all having to be vigilant but some of you are preparing for or already in the throws of evacuating your homes under these unimaginable circumstances. Please know we are thinking of you and hoping that your preparations and forthcoming journeys roll as smoothly as possible. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all folks who have been or will be displaced by these treacherous weather-related tragedies. Please take care of yourselves and stay as safe as possible. CJ and Kathy
