15% contained. One of the museum's other board members is at Schramsburg next to the damaged Castile di Amoroso winery. They had seriously cut back the dense undergrowth and barely saved the old founder's 1850's mansion. Fortunately, most of the bottled stuff is fermenting in deep caves I love to visit but the Cabernet Sauvignon still on the vines is pretty toasted or too smokey to be used. The tourist tax for the county, a major municipal income source, already impacted by Covid(25% hotel occupancy) and residential property taxes are going to be seriously afflicted. But at least the evacuees have places to stay. So far, this season, I've not been summond for anti-looting work...always a problem in these affairs. At my age, it's tough to tell "the bad guys" (locusts! indeed!)anyway if everyone's wearing a mask!!?. EDIT: No sooner do I post this, than I note my local paper's headline: "Hotels welcome evacuees"...

By comparison, the 2018 season only burned 1.67 million acres! I 'spect I'm a "closet Catholic"ie: after time in purgatory surely I shall attain paradise... even Paradise CA [82 dead 95% destroyed)didn't survive!
