Man! Imagine if I get the thread this month. LOL. Just messing, My naming, It was worse than my initial thoughts two months ago. Hi, Guys! I know a few of you have been tracking the mysterious land of the Northern Colorado fires, and I happen to fall into that category. RIP. Things have been unique for quite a while recently. I was recently staying up in another place for 12 days. I left three days before the hectic evacuations up here; panic ensued and a lot of doubt. That was the night after the East Troublesome Fire traveled 100,000 acres overnight. Burning Hundreds of homes up to this point up in places like Grand Lake. Crazy stuff!
I was put in a complicated emotional state, as I care very deeply about my Volvos just like any of us; I was put into a panic when I had to leave two of them behind; Fortunately, nothing happened while I was gone. Fortunately, I live in a town with historical significance! They wouldn't let that burn after all. Why not protect the rest? LOL. As I mentioned, I was gone for a good long while in the aforementioned safe area, and I was having difficulty comprehending everything. Suddenly, the family I was staying with decided it would be best to go home. That was a treacherous journey with 6 hours of driving with crazy Halloween traffic. That exists, right? Lol. That was fascinating, for sure. I slept in my bed for a night, but not without worry. It's troubling knowing the fires are so close and surrounded by danger. A few nights ago, I heard many people up in Grand Lake were asleep and burned inside their houses overnight entirely without warning. I'm not sure of the validity of such a statement, but that was something that sparked caution and significant guilt. I honestly never thought I would be typing from this desk again. It's discouraging to pack up all of your belongings and determine, "Am I comfortable with this burning?" and coming home to an empty shell of a house doesn't feel like home anymore. Just something that I shouldn't be standing in anymore. My residence happens to have massive charm, only as anyone who loves their home knows. Rocket is safe, and things haven't changed significantly. Rough waters in businesses and people skipping town are confusing to witness. I'm glad things are safe, but leaving things at 76% bothers me considerably. A part of me enjoys being here, but I feel uncomfortable. I've been saying this a lot lately, but it feels like I'm occupying my guilt until it burns. I would hate to have such a hiatus in such an uncomfortable state to burn like the others supposedly.
It seems like a waste to come back, not to mention my mental integrity. So, Indeed. I am home currently, and Rocket is sitting outside, unscathed, thank goodness. I wrote that as an inside view into a resident of such a place under literal and figurative fire. LOL. Anyway, It's the month to be thankful once again! Look at everything you have and think of how much you love, care for it, and appreciate it. And I'm SUPER grateful to have wonderful people here that would be willing to keep my sanity in check at the ready. It means a ton, and I appreciate keeping me in high spirits in my time of real disturbance. I can feel you screaming *VERBOSE* Brian. I'm sorry about that, LOL. Thank you, guys, for being here. Make sure to look around and be thankful for safety, comfort, and peace. I know this year is killing all of us in different ways; keep your spirits up! Now in the classic fashion, here's a VR I promise was already posted by Magnus or SilverStreak. LOL.
