exposure to wildfires

[Guest guest]

I feel for you - it is terrible to be exposed to fires like that,

even for a healthy person, much less for one of us. We've only had

one wildfire that got near where I live. It was put out within

hours, but I had to leave work that day and go home.

As a former Floridian, I think " God's waiting room, " is a great term

for it, although I'm sure it is hell on earth now with the fires.
