-## Black Forest Fire 2013 ##
-
-Our home which was the hosting site for gag.com fell victim to forest fire on
-or about 11 June 2013. Our house was very close to where the fire
-started, so we had very little warning and feel very lucky to have escaped
-with our lives, our pets, and a few of our most precious possessions. This was
-the second really significant forest fire in the Colorado Springs area in less
-than one year, and is the worst fire in Colorado history in terms of
-structure loss... the count of destroyed homes is over 500.

-###Helping###

-For those of you who have asked how you can help us restore and rebuild,
-thank you. We are working on several wishlists and a registry of items we
-need in the short term. Please watch this space as we will update the list
-of lists and the contents of the lists as we find more time to work on them.
-Here's what we have so far:
-
-* Crate and Barrel Registry
-* Bed Bath & Beyond Registry
-* Amazon Wish List .. on this
- one in particular, we know things may be available for less money
- elsewhere. Please let us know or use the Amazon feature for indicating
- you've fulfilled a wish by shopping elsewhere so we can avoid getting
- duplicate items!
-
-Many of the others in Black Forest who lost homes actually need help much
-more than
-we do. The Pikes Peak Community Foundation
-has established an
-emergency relief fund that specifically benefits victims of this fire.
-
-If you'd rather send money to help us rebuild, either PayPal or Google
-Checkout/Wallet transfers to bdale@gag.com should work.
-
-We are also deeply indebted to the three local fire departments that we know
-were directly fighting the fire on and around our property:
-
-* Black Forest Fire/Rescue, the
- department that serves us directly and were likely first on the
- scene.
-* Wescott Fire Protection District,
- an adjacent district whose personnel were fighting the fire literally
- along the edges of our driveway when we tried to drive out, and who
- ended up walking us out through the already-burned area to safety.
-* Falcon Fire Protection District,
- whose members showed us immense generosity in the days following the
- fire.
