#omakwashington

There was a fire in the sky last night. You could see the blaze beyond the trees behind our house. This was scary AF and reminded the Dude and I of the massive fire from a few years ago. Our power was out yesterday from 1:30pm, until about 10:45pm. We took a drive up to the hills, and saw the mass destruction of the blaze, of which the main body has gone south now about 40 miles. It’s devastating. The most incongruous thing we saw was two little kids just jumping away on a trampoline, without a care in the world. If I could have stopped and taken a picture with the fire in the background I would have. . . . .

What a way for #OmakWashington to make National news!- “The demonstrations against racial injustice and police brutality that have convulsed major metropolitan areas, from Minneapolis to Miami, have also made their way into small-town America, redrawing the geography of the #BlackLivesMatterMovement . But the activists spearheading unlikely assemblies in rural and conservative corners of the country have faced fierce online backlash and armed intimidation, which in some places is unfolding with the apparent support of local law enforcement.” Via @washingtonpost https://rb.gy/btf7qj
