Walter!
I bought some 4416’s the other day, I almost didn’t because they looked pretty beat up and bruised, but I had a craving so I got ‘em, and they were so good! I couldn’t believe how good they were, given that they looked so beat up. Is that the secret to finding good ones?

DId you here about the fire today. I get back up the hill after going down to Denver to the lapidary shop to get some findings for your pendant… and there is a wildfire 3/4 of a mile from my house, at the top of the mountain I live on… I followed a fire truck right up past my house…

This is a picture… it’s not out yet, but appears to be burning down the other side of the mountain, south/west of me, but it had come over the top of the hill and was headed down my way.

My house would be in the left foreground area. I went up hill around 12:30 and there was a bunch of fire trucks, county rescue vehicles, fireman and TV stations…

Local sherif came by about 45 minutes ago, says it’s basically under control, but they will check back if we have to leave.

But I got your stuff…
