All our neighbors were in the same boat without gas for cooking or heat .. .. ..

We all got our gas turned on at different times .. ..

Hopefully it rains Thursday and helps with putting out the fires around the city .. . ..

So pleased that you and your wife are safe, Denver. What a frightening experience. Please take good care of yourself. Time to buy a camping stone and good torches perhaps. xx
