Fire on the Mountain-Prayers!

What has happened in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Smokies themselves is devastating.

The pictures and videos coming out of the area look like scenes from some apocalyptic movie.

Prayers are needed for the residents, the firefighters, and the missing.
There are still people unaccounted for.

It did stop by three, but the wind was whipping and it was cold.

Well, maybe not cold‑cold, but it sure wasn’t shorts and T‑shirt weather.

Badger had a pretty bad skateboarding accident tonight.

I couldn't get a hold of Cowboy at work, so Raven drove us to the ER, which was an adventure in itself.

The ER said it's just a sprained ligament and a bit of road rash.
