I did lots of driving again today going from Oregon to Washington. In general the roads were fairly passable but there was some ice in spots. At one point we were doing some fishtails down the road when a cross breeze hit us when we were going fast. It was loads of fun and I did manage to get control back in the car.
On the one hand if I was cruising in four wheel drive I might not have swerved all over the road. On the other hand I don't really like going fast in four wheel drive and I you lose control in four wheel it tends to be a bit harder to get back in control.
In any case we are home safely and my mom's house didn't burn down but she did lose a lot of tiles off of her roof from the wind. Our neighbor's niece did lose her house in the Colorado wildfires though. She was on vacation and came back to an empty lot. I feel really bad that she lost her house.
At least if your home when something like that happens you can try to save a few things that you really want to keep.
Hopefully people will try to do something about all the wild changes in weather we have been experiencing. It certainly was not like this when I was a child. I'm doing my best but it feels a lot like a hummingbird trying to put out a forest fire.
Our view out of our motel window in Oregon:
This was a really nice motel with a very good breakfast and they even had room for Doggie. We stayed right next to the exercise room and there was a very definite thumping noise coming from that direction. I personally don't like dredmills but each to his own. People were also talking very loudly in the halls but they did settle down later on in the evening when it was time for bed.
It was very nice to be home and the sunset was looking wonderful:
