Hope you can spread it around your social network so it can gain popularity but for me it is an amazingly easy way to keep up with the latest post from pretty much every physician blogger I know.

Thanks Jeff. That is a kind offer. Also thanks for serving in the volunteer search and rescue team. The kindness of people and their service to the community never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the good work and stay out of natural disasters (not that riots are a natural disaster, but they are quite bad to live through).

Thank you for sharing here and I enjoyed your article on your own site and several of the articles it has spawned. I grew up in Los Angeles and remember living through the Northridge quake and the LA riots. I moved to a rural county in central Washington State several years ago and was here all of 5 weeks before needing to evacuate my apartment at 1am due to a wildfire. I am prepared by most standards but need to be even more vigilant now that I have a family to care for these days and your article has served to motivate me.

I am a member of our county’s volunteer search and rescue and one of our roles are evacuating residents during wildfires, those were likely local volunteers. One of the nice things about being in a SAR unit is we keep a bag packed all the time anyway, but your list is very useful for the sentimental and legal things that I do not leave packed.

I think my Sodastream is like your waffle maker. It would be the first thing I buy after moving back in. Heck I take it on roadtrips. It is this ridiculous luxury I ‘need’ multiple times a day now 😀

TGIF and let me know if you’re short on any outdoor gear, I have a modest pile of stuff I’m going to donate, I can ship to you.

Jeff

It was a pleasure meeting you too…and a waffle maker is vital to breakfast making.

We have been teaching him about giving for a long time. We suggested he give one item and he upped it to two. We we’re proud and hope he continues to learn to give and that life is impermanent. This material possessions really don’t matter. It’s the people we should cherish.

Thanks! Honestly it has been great. I have way less desire to buy anything these days. It’s like a great weight has been lifted off of me.

My wife’s family lost everything. She is from Nicaragua. Her family was from the upper echelons of Nicaragua society during the Somoza regime. When the Sandinistas took over in 1979, they lost everything. My father-in-law used to say the inheritance I give is your education. That they can never take away.
