Shelter-in-Place, Day 154: Fire Season has Begun

The headline for the Press Democrat online currently reads, "Five Napa County fires burn 32,000 acres, displace at least 5,700 people."  

There's nothing too close, but I'm starting to think about gathering a pile of things to take should we have to evacuate, in the same way we prepared in 2017 and 2019. 

There are nearly 5.5 million active COVD-19 cases in the US, and Sonoma County is still trending in the wrong direction. But, as can happen in the middle of a crisis of indeterminate duration, it's a question of taking things one day at a time. 

And as if it weren't exciting enough around here, I'm reading The Fifth Season.   which is a fantastic book, but may be sparking apocalyptic survival thoughts in my busy little brain.

cover of The Fifth Season, a novel by N. K. Jemisin, shows a stone wall decoration that appears to be covered in flaking gold leaf.
