-## 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](http://www.crateandbarrel.com/Gift-Registry/Elizabeth-Garbee/r5059713)
-* [Bed Bath & Beyond Registry](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/regGiftRegistry.asp?wrn=-280550117&)
-* [Amazon Wish List](http://amzn.com/w/2UTFPG4214HV4) .. 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](http://www.ppcf.org)
-has established an
-[emergency relief fund](http://www.ppcf.org/products/emergency-relief)
-that specifically benefits victims of this fire.
-
-If you'd rather send money to help us rebuild, PayPal transfers to
-bdale@gag.com may be the easiest way to do that.
-
-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.
