Doug and Cindy "Dodge the Bullet"

I received this email from Doug today. As you may know, he and Cindy live in California, and from this message, they were in the path of one of the wildfires that seem to have become the state's most identifiable icon of late.

We are all gratified that their ranch was spared!

Hi all,

The fires passed by the mountains on the north side of Bradley Road (which borders our ranch). Looks like we are going to get by unscathed, thanks in large part to God for letting up on the northeast winds at just the right time. The air strike was very impressive. I tried to make a few movie clips. We will see if they worked out.

The media converged on the ranch. I did interviews with CBS national news and the Los Angeles Daily News, and Cindy did the Los Angeles Times, KNX radio, and one other one that I can’t remember right now. So, be watching the internet sites and TV tonight.

Judy, this might be the kind of news story that makes the REALLY big time media…the FFN! Ha! If you could get the word out through your network, that would be great!

Doug
