Dear Doc,
Do you think Rick Perry will refuse that nefarious federal emergency aid?
It's raining in NY - how I wish I could send it your way.
Love,
Mary

Hey, thanks, Maggie. Our farm is about a mile from Rutersville. We rushed back here from
South Texas (at the Keilers Ranch) to find that the fire fighters had stopped the fire
before it had a chance to come our way. It did burn up a lot of land west of us, including
the old Citzler homestead where Marilyn Wagner was born. It is very scary here. They
cannot control the fire in Bastrop. It has been burning now since Sunday morning. And
getting worse. We can see the mountains of smoke from out house, 40 miles away. About
every hour another fire pops up somewhere. I spent the day watering the dying grass all
around the house. Folks here (including us) are packing crates and bags for evacuation in
the event the Bastrop fire turns this way or something comes from the east. Everyone is a
bit unsettled, nervous. We need rain, badly, and right now.
Rick Perry will likely blame Obama for the fires, the drought, and for distracting him
from his political evangelism.
We are fine. Sky-watching.
Doc

Dear Doc and All, The Texas fires are just heartbreaking/devastating, and I see online
that there is one in Ruttersville, about 10 miles from Round Top. I hope all of you in
Texas--and all your family and friends and homes--are safe and the weather conditions turn
for the better soon. You are on my mind and in my heart. Please send word when you have
the chance to let us know how you are. With much love to you all,Maggie maggie
