Thanks for the update Doc and thanks for the note Maggie -- and Doc, sound the alarm if volunteers are needed -- I will hop in the car at a moment's notice and I'm sure others will too... to save your house, Round Top, Winedale, with whatever we can... There's a video on youtube of the Bastrop State Park fire, the wind blew it through at about the pace of a person running... a moving wall of fire, about two feet high.... fortunately the old CCC buildings have survived so far. cs On Sep 6, 2011, at 7:22 PM, Maggie Megaw wrote: Clayton Stromberger Outreach Coordinator, UT Shakespeare at Winedale College of Liberal Arts, University of Texas at Austin www.shakespeare-winedale.org cell: 512-363-6864 UT Sh. at W. office: 512-471-4726

The world is grown so bad, that wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. Be safe, Doc. Be vigilant. (And prepare to secede if Rick Perry is ever president.) We are praying for you and for rain...

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.

I was in Ohio last week where it rained inches - so wonderful to just stand outside. I spent 5 days with people who thought I would be thrilled to have another Texas president...the evils of unions for policemen, teachers and Firemen! God help us! Meanwhile flying back into Waco yesterday the pilot says 'if you'll look out the windows on the right you'll see a rather large brush fire.' It was only another of the small fires we've had...nothing to compare to what is going on in South Texas. Jayne, your words are profound. My prayers are with you all. Please let us know if there is anything we can do...

Perry will definitely refuse federal aid. It goes against his presidential platform (assuming that he can even understand his own presidential positioning). Here in North Texas, we are having similarly scary fires but not nearly as close to major metro areas. With no rain in the forecast for another week, we likely continue to face dangers across the state. Pray for no wind so that the firefighters can get some control. Keep safe Doc..
