There are once-in-a-lifetime events that define the way we see the world.  Some of these are world changing.  Some are regional. Some are good, and some are bad.   September 2017 will be a watershed for the remainder of the time I have left on this Earth.  A fire was started last week in the Columbia Gorge by a group of kids with fireworks.  Some of my favorite places are burning.  These are a few of them.
