A Story of a High Tech Fire Refugee
I love this account from Jim Forbes about his short evacuation from the California fires with all his high tech paraphernalia and his dog. It just has nothing of feeling sorry for himself. It’s an inspiring response. Plus it reminds me that preparation can have a huge impact on how you handle crisis. His account also had a feel of community - as he looked after his elderly neighbors to be sure they were taken care of.
I also dig his writing style so I think I’ll put him on RSS subscribe. I love blogs so I can read personal accounts like this about things in the news. Blogs tell the human stories behind the generalizations and in this case what seemed tragedy is triumph.

Yes, it reminds us to always be prepared! I was in San Diego a week before the fires and I would have never guessed that a week later the exact hotel I was at would have to be evacuated!
