Please say a few prayers for the wild fire they are having in Santa Barbara. They are calling it the Tea Fire and it is in the hills above the town, but is still spreading. The last report from the fire department was that they had it 0% contained and were expecting high winds and unseasonable warm weather today. A number of homes have been evacuated in the area. My brother and sister currently are attending Westmont College which has been partly burned by they fire as of last report. Per the Westmont website, Firefighters are attempting to put out several fires at Clark Hall. Structures lost to or significantly damaged by fire include the Physics Building, the ‘old Math” building, Bauder Hall and the Quonset Huts. The Red Cross is currently there evacuation students and staff off of campus after they spent the night in the gym per Fire Chief's instructions.

    Wow, keeping them in our thoughts, for sure. We had that a few years ago with the Hayman fire here in CO. It is definitely a weird feeling to drive away from your home, not knowing if it will be there when you come back.

    Prayer's sent for sure. You can't remember to grab all the sentimental stuff when you leave too.

    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    My heart and prayers go out to the ones living in the Santa Braba area. It's nothing worse than having nothing left when you go back home. A nightmare in real life.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:
