OT: Fall of Civilizations...Sumeria

Pretty amazing what a smart guy and some means of production can do these days. It's part of a series and this is the most recent one. The one on the Norse in Greenland...I might have posted that one before. The Maya Empire is great.. Best early history podcasts I've seen. Also, he does some w/o video. The rise and fall of the Khmer Empire is absolutely killer too. He follows civilizations who left behind historical text.

God Help Northern California

The fires continue to expand. The giant forrest Fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains is now heading south towards the city of Santa Cruz. 25% of our county has now been evacuated from their homes. There are
more lightening storms predicted tonight and through Tuesday. I am going to start packing some clothes and food in order to make an emergency escape. I still think that I won’t need to use it. I also think that escape will be difficult. I guess that I’ll head South and just keep going on 1 until I can hook up with 101.... but for now, with the Coronavirus, I still feel that I am safer at home... it really depends on the coming lightening storms, the wind and the fog.
I love my home and I love my area. I have been blessed beyond measure to have lived in this area. We are not prone to fires.

I guess that nothing in life is for certain. I just attended my church’s online service. It was announced that half of our church members have been displaced from their homes. People are dropping everything to go help those people.

Our people are resilient. We will make a comeback. We will help our neighbors. We will never give up. I can promise you that.
We love our homes and love our community.

New Look Board...Kinda Like It

Am I the only one who is actually liking the changes? Especially when articles and whatnot are embedded into posts, it's much easier to read and follow and the forum seems easier to navigate through too, with some new features.

Normally I hate change like this, but so far, not bad Rivals. For once, you did something right (the changes in the past have been pretty bad in my opinion).

My neighborhood To Have Demonstration

in order to thank the firefighters. This invitation has been circulating around our neighborhood. There is soooo much heart around here. People are selflessly volunteering, offering emotional support, opening up their homes to evacuees, sending food, clothes and money to the evacuees . Now we are having a thank you rally.
For the out of town firefighters staying in a nearby hotel

HERE IS THE POST FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD WEBSITE

Support the fire fighters event! OK Aptosia what an outpouring of support . Gonna be a wild TUESDAY morning! Be in the Best Western Seacliff Inn parking lot between 5:30-5:45am with your signs, banners and neighborhood Thank You cards to send the firefighters off for their shift knowing how much we appreciate them! If you want you can leave your signs and cards and I’ll ask to have them placed in the lobby for all the firefighters to see coming back from their shifts. THANK YOU!!
