I was out in Bastrop today, helping with a church group that operates a distribution center for those that have lost everything. My assignment today was to drive around a specific neighborhood and pass out water and snacks to those families or groups working to clean up the various home sites. This area is or was a very wealthy subdivision. As your can tell by what is left, the homes were large and the lots were large. Nothing is left..nothing. Well, ok, the chimney is..and..look closely...amid all the charred remains, a brick and stone house gone..in the back yard, remains the wooden playhouse/swingset! We ran across two of those! And one where the trampoline remained, but the house was gone. The trampoline was not even melted and the outside netting was still in place! Of course there were the 10 lots where the houses were completely gone, but then a single home stood untouched. No different than when a tornado touches down..could skip and hop and move around. I had no idea a fire would do the same thing.
After coming back from Bastrop, I just ended up going to my room and finished out watching games that were on. By that time we had smacked Texas and were in the middle of creaming KU!
I am not sure what Sunday and Monday hold for me, will just take it a 1/2 day at a time. Need to get caught up on some paperwork and need to write a Gilbert blog. Back to work on Tuesday and it will be a busy week. They keep declaring counties and that involves work on my part! It is a mess down here, I hope they get a ton of rain and very soon.
