12:22 am

cybernan

half way - enough for tonight.

12:22 am

cybernan

are the CA fires any where near ruru?

12:23 am

meliae

Still don't know Nan, I know he's in that general vicinity.

12:25 am

Kamanjah

Yes, the fires are very near Ruru, I'm worried about him! I have a lot of family over in that area, and my nephew's house barely made it - only 4-6 houses stood, his was one.

12:25 am

Kamanjah

It's been an awful day for Calif!

12:26 am

meliae

I was really hoping he would be here

12:26 am

Uneaixoise

that's what i was afraid of -- the video footage on the news is just heartbreaking

12:26 am

Kamanjah

Me too - I searched the whole archive from the last grid, no Ruru

12:26 am

Q

i guess we were jealous of all the horrible things happening in other states. needed some of our own.

12:27 am

cybernan

we will probably know more tomorrow. If he was evacuated, he may not have internet access.

12:27 am

cybernan

good night everyone

12:27 am

meliae

I wish he would join our Facebook page.

12:27 am

Lizlin

Hi all - hope Ru and anyone else in that area is OK. Horrible to see what's happening.

12:27 am

Kamanjah

Cell phones, power, everything is pretty much out. They've been posting warnings on Twitter and Facebook to remind people that when signals are out to treat them as 4 way stops

12:28 am

meliae

Min I Nan, sweet drrams.

12:28 am

Lizlin

Sleep well nan

1:32 am

sprite

good morning all

1:34 am

Kamanjah

Hi Sprite!

1:35 am

sprite

*hugs Kam* How are you doing?

1:35 am

Kamanjah

OK, thanks! How are you this morning?

1:37 am

sprite

I am fine. Some very very odd dreams last night but no nightmares, so that is a definite plus. Is the grid any good today?

1:38 am

Kamanjah

My mind is elsewhere tonight...the fires have been awful - step-son and nephew were evac'd, and nephew's house was saved by a miracle - only a few survived, it's been pretty stressy with so many fires here

1:39 am

sprite

it is a horrible thing. I can only pray for all those involved there.

1:39 am

Kamanjah

At least everyone we know is ok, but they're reporting at least 10 deaths as of about 5 hours ago - couldn't deal with the news any longer

1:39 am

sprite

I hear ya.

1:41 am

Kamanjah

Calif isn't the place to live this time of year, lol! The fires seem to get worse every year. Improper forest management for years let too much undergrowth take over, then all of the building in the past 15 years or so has spread out into literal wildlands. Not thinking ahead...

1:42 am

flosey

Kam, when you say everyone we know is ok, does that mean our babble buddy RURU is ok?

1:42 am

sprite

it's criminal, imo

1:42 am

Kamanjah

It is scary, we had 2 fires locally today too. Fortunately relatively small

1:42 am

sprite

*hugs flosey*

1:42 am

flosey

hi Sprite, hugs

1:42 am

Kamanjah

No, I don't personally know Ruru, and I have not seen him on here at all...no news from anyone on Ruru.

1:44 am

Kamanjah

And he lives in Napa, where one of the nasty fires is happening.

1:44 am

Kamanjah

I have a lot of family and personal friends in that area - it's only about 100 miles from me.

1:46 am

flosey

tks for responding, I do hope someone in here will post if anything is heard about RU

1:46 am

Gillie

Judging by the rankings ("Who's Hot"), it appears that he is still playing everyday.

1:47 am

Kamanjah

A lot of people are worrying about him, if you scroll back through the chat, you should see earlier discussions. I keep getting sidetracked.

1:47 am

Gillie

He has the maximum score for the past thirty days, which is only possible if he has completed all thirty puzzles.

1:48 am

sprite

thanks Gillie

1:48 am

Kamanjah

I seem to remember him mentioning a vacation recently???

1:50 am

Kamanjah

Doesn't the name in red mean they're online now? If so, he's laughing at us...

1:50 am

flosey

he has recently had a Canadian flag showing, wonder if he is visiting up here

1:50 am

sprite

no Kam. If you check in the Who's Online tab, he is not there.

1:51 am

sprite

and Ru wouldn't laugh at us worrying about him.

1:52 am

Kamanjah

Oh. Wonder what red means? And, no, he wouldn't laugh at us worrying, he'd just tease - or cause groans

1:53 am

sprite

indeed :)

1:54 am

sprite

the name in red means they have a profile. The name in black means they either don't have one or prefer not to show it.

1:55 am

Kamanjah

Ah, thanks.

1:56 am

sprite

yvw

1:58 am

flosey

must get to bed, I will click back in off and on, if anyone hears from RU please post in here

1:58 am

sprite

sleep well, flosey *hugs*

1:59 am

Kamanjah

sleep well!

1:59 am

flosey

ty, ty

2:01 am

Kamanjah

And...FW! Have a great day Sprite and everyone!

2:06 am

sprite

wtg Kam!!!!!!!!!!!!! *hugs*

2:12 am

sprite

I sent ru an email. I know that if he is okay and able to access his email, he will let me know. In the meantime, I'll just pray for him and all involved.

2:20 am

Bugsaw

I think ruru is in New York City to celebrate his birthday. I am sure he is well but not sure about his property.

2:21 am

sprite

hiya Bugsaw. That is good to hear. Property can be replaced in the end, life cannot... though I really hope all is well for ru.

2:21 am

Bugsaw

we all do. I am sure he will be pleased to know that people care about him.

2:22 am

sprite

yeah :) We care a lot. Ru is a good 'un

2:26 am

sprite

mkg, judi, origami: just going over the chog to see if there was any news of Ruru & the fires in his area -- he lives in my neck of the woods (Napa is about 35 miles from San Francisco) Glad to hear he's okay. [our temps are considerably lower - thank heaven - due to natural air conditioning aka ocean breeze. I checked his profile to see when he started on babbling and saw he'd put in that he was from Canada. ????

Hello folks

4:11 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, doren - what do you hear from ru?

4:19 pm

Dorens

He had to cancel trip - we had tickets for Wicked on Saturday!! Bad fires around, so far he's safe, but they're on stand by for evacuation if the winds pick up tonight and change direction. which is entirely possible. The fire jumped the trail by Silverado. lots of restaurants and many structures gone. He's safe though , staying with a friend (no power at his house) and good spirits.

4:20 pm

harpjane

thanks for the report.

4:22 pm

Dorens

His house lost power yesterday, he's staying at a friend's. Cell phone service not working either. He had to cancel his trip - was supposed to be in NY Friday.

6:00 pm

grannyrose

thanx so much Dorens. if you do hear from him, please let him know he is in our thoughts and hearts.

6:01 pm

Dorens

I already did. He called from his friend's house (shortly after I saw the facebook conversation) to tell me he had cancelled the trip - we were booked for Broadway and diner on Saturday. So I let him know that people are asking about him.

6:02 pm

grannyrose

thanx again Dorens.
